Dangote selects AspenTech software for its refinery
BEDFORD, Mass. — Aspen Technology, Inc., the asset optimization software company, announced that the Dangote Group, the largest conglomerate in West Africa and one of the largest on the African continent, has selected Aspen PIMS-AO software for economic and operational planning.
By standardizing on a best-in-class solution that leading refineries and olefins plants around the world use for feedstock selection, product slate optimization and production planning, Dangote further enhances its global presence as the organization builds the world’s largest single train refinery, the 650,000 bpd Dangote Oil Refinery.
The refinery will also house the world’s largest urea plant with a capacity of 3 MMtpy, in addition to a polyethylene plant and gas processing facilities for 3 Bscfd of natural gas transported through 1,100 km of subsea pipeline infrastructure built by the Dangote Group.
Aspen PIMS-AO software is part of the aspenONE suite of products that streamline downstream refining workflows to bridge the gap between planning and scheduling, create optimal production plans quickly and evaluate more scenarios to enable better decision-making. AspenTech has partnered with leading energy companies worldwide to develop a proprietary solving algorithm that ensures accurate results. PIMS-AO also offers nonlinear models which improve accuracy in refining reactors and olefins (pyrolysis) furnaces.
