The proposed expansion to 1.4 million barrels per day is a project of global significance and will stand among the largest refinery complexes at a single location
Engineers India Limited (EIL) has bagged US$ 350 million Project Management Consultant (PMC) and EPCM contract from Dangote Group.
Dangote plans to expand its refining capacity from 650,000 barrels per day to 1.4 million barrels per day (Train 2) producing Euro VI grade fuels, as well as expanding Polypropylene production from 830 KTPA to 2.4 MMTPA Polypropylene by revamping existing Polypropylene Unit (PPU) and installing additional PPU of 1.2 MMTPA, plus a world scale 750 KTPA 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.
Once completed, this expansion will position Dangote as the world’s largest petroleum refinery, strengthening fuel production within Africa, reducing reliance on imports, and supporting regional energy security.
