Honeywell (NASDAQ: HON) today announced it is providing connected services, advanced digital performance monitoring, and operator training to the Dangote Petroleum Refinery in Lekki, Nigeria — the world’s largest single-train petroleum refinery.

This collaboration will see Honeywell Performance+ Services, a key component of Honeywell’s Connected Solutions, deployed across core processing units. Building on the technological support described above, these services will help increase the production of high-octane fuels from various feedstocks to achieve maximum output. The integration of Honeywell Forge’s digital tools with Honeywell UOP engineers’ expertise will enable Dangote to access real-time insights, identify potential issues, and receive recommended actions to optimise performance.

“As global energy demand grows, refineries must operate with greater agility, reliability, and efficiency,” said Ken West, president and CEO of Honeywell Process Technology. “Honeywell’s Connected Solutions pair advanced automation and digital capabilities with more than a century of deep refining expertise to help customers like Dangote improve operational performance, enhance asset reliability, and unlock greater value from their facilities.”

Honeywell will also provide advanced training and simulation solutions to support the refinery’s workforce operations and development. Built using digital twins of Dangote’s facilities, Honeywell’s Operator Training Simulators (OTS) will allow operators to train in real-world scenarios, improving readiness and enabling teams to test actions in a safe environment.

“The Dangote Petroleum Refinery is designed to set a new global benchmark for scale, efficiency, and output,” said Aliko Dangote, President, Dangote Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemicals FZE. “Honeywell’s Performance+ Services and training programs support our ability to maximise output and achieve operational excellence by developing local talent to run operations safely and reliably as we ramp up production to meet the world’s growing energy needs.”

The Dangote Petroleum Refinery produces Euro-V quality gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel, along with polypropylene, a key input for plastics and packaging. The facility employs more than 3,000 Nigerian workers and is designed to meet 100% of Nigeria’s domestic demand for refined petroleum products, with surplus available for export.

Building on nearly a decade of collaboration, the two companies recently announced that Honeywell’s refining technologies will help the facility increase its capacity from 650,000 to 1.4 million barrels per day within three years, optimising existing assets and speeding up market delivery.
