Mr Anthony Chiejina, Group Chief Branding and Communications Officer, Dangote Industries Ltd., says the multi-billion Naira Dangote Refinery and Petrochemical company will be inaugurated in Lagos on May 22.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Chiejina disclosed this to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday in Lagos.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
NAN reports that the facility is expected to produce 650,000 barrels per day with the cost of completion pegged at 19 billion dollars.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The 650,000 barrels per day refinery is expected to boost the Federal Government\u2019s effort to make Nigeria self-sufficient.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The Dangote Refinery complex located in the Lekki Free Zone area of Lagos, covers a land area of approximately 2,635 hectares, which is larger than the entire Victoria Island.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The refinery is the biggest in Africa and also the biggest single-train facility in the world.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
A single-train refinery uses an integrated distillation unit or one Crude Distillation Unit (CDU) to refine crude oil into various petroleum products.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
This is against the use of multiple distillation units by most big refineries.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
NAN gathered that the refinery would be inaugurated by President Muhammadu Buhari.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
