Air Liquide Engineering & Construction has been selected to supply two hydrogen (H2) production steam methane reformer (SMR) units to Dangote Group, the largest manufacturing conglomerate in West Africa.
The SMR units will be core to a new H2 generation complex producing 200,000 Nm3/h of H2 and high-quality steam for Dangote’s new refinery located in the Lekki free trade zone in Nigeria. The new refinery is part of the largest industrial complex that is currently under development in Africa and will produce Euro V compliant low sulfur fuels among other products.
Hydrogen is used today in many industrial sectors, especially in the oil refining process to produce sulphur-free fuels. This project will considerably improve refining infrastructure in Nigeria and consequently enable the country to manufacture refined products locally, reducing the reliance on the imported goods.
