This landmark facility is recognised as a key asset for Africa’s energy landscape, standing as a testament to EIL’s engineering experience and execution leadership. The project has reshaped Africa’s energy architecture and elevated the region as a major hub for world-class hydrocarbon assets across the entire value chain.
Dangote plans to expand its refining capacity from 650 000 bpd to 1.4 million bpd (Train 2) producing Euro VI grade fuels, as well as expanding polypropylene production from 830 000 tpy to 2.4 million tpy of polypropylene by revamping existing polypropylene unit (PPU) and installing additional PPU of 1.2 million tpy, plus a world scale 750 000 tpy UOP’s Oleflex Unit to supplement propylene feed to PPU. The latest expansion further reinforces Nigeria’s mission to become a regional hub for refined petroleum products and petrochemicals.
Dangote Group has partnered with EIL in this endeavour and has signed a contract agreement of value more than US$350 Million to engage EIL as PMC and EPCM Consultant for this project. Once completed, this expansion will position Dangote as the one of the world’s largest petroleum refineries, strengthening fuel production within Africa, reducing reliance on imports, and supporting regional energy security.
