Dangote oil refinery has partnered with Honeywell to expand petrochemical production for plastics and detergents. The deal involves using Honeywell UOP's Oleflex technology to produce 750,000 metric tons of propylene annually. The refinery will also produce 400,000 tons of linear alkylbenzene (LAB) per year, a key ingredient in detergents. Dangote's petrochemical plant at the Lekki complex began producing polypropylene in March 2025. The partnership aims to make Nigeria a regional manufacturing hub and reduce its dependence on imports. The refinery's capacity is expected to increase to 1.4 million bpd by 2028.
