Honeywell Technologies to supply process tech for Dangote’s 700,000 b/d single‑train Kenya refinery

Deal overview

Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals FZE has selected Honeywell Technologies to supply process technologies, licensing, engineering services, proprietary catalysts, equipment and digital solutions for a planned 700,000 barrels-per-day single-train refinery in Kenya, which is expected to become the world’s largest single-train refinery.

Schedule and design reuse

The project builds on nearly a decade of collaboration and leverages proven engineering designs Honeywell developed for Dangote’s Lekki refinery. By drawing on these established designs, Dangote expects to reduce the development schedule for the new facility by nearly two years, about a 30% acceleration compared with typical newly constructed facilities.

Products, feedstock flexibility and scope

The Kenya refinery will produce gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and polypropylene and will be configured to process a wide variety of crude oils, from light to heavy grades, enabling sourcing from multiple regions to reduce reliance on any single supply source. Honeywell’s project scope for the facility is expected to be approximately $300 million.

Strategic context

Honeywell will provide modifications to enhance operational flexibility and deliver digital capabilities. The announcement follows recent work between the two companies to boost fuel and petrochemical production and workforce capabilities at Dangote’s Lekki facility, underscoring the role of proven refining technologies and digital solutions in accelerating project execution, supporting energy security, supply chain resilience and economic growth.
