How large is the catalysis at the Dangote Refinery in Nigeria? !
Thread Content
These days, I’ve been reading the news. It says that our country manufactured a giant atmospheric distillation tower and shipped it to the Dangote Refinery in Nigeria. Upon further reading, I found out that this company also has significant capabilities in catalysis; reportedly, it utilizes UOP’s RFCC technology. The regenerator was installed by our Qihua Construction Company – it’s the largest regenerator in the world. So what is the processing capacity of this catalyst? !
The designed capacity is: 247,000 barrels per day.
The catalytic cracking unit at the Dangote refinery is no longer the largest; recently commissioned, Zhejiang Petrochemical’s FCC has a designed capacity of 304,000 barrels per day.
The FCC unit at the under-construction Ratnagiri refinery in India is designed to have a capacity of 312,000 barrels per day. The refinery is expected to be completed and put into operation in 2022.
Currently, the largest is Reliance Industries in India, with a capacity of 6.5 million tons; after catalytic conversion, this capacity can be increased to 10 million tons
I just saw on Docin that Nigeria produces 400,000 barrels per day. Is this really the highest figure? :o
