Tinita Engineering Pvt. Ltd. has strengthened its global engineering presence by securing an order for the supply of 30 Heat Exchangers for the Dangote Refinery and Petrochemicals (DPRP) Expansion Project in Nigeria.

The order marks another important milestone in Tinita Engineering’s journey as an Indian manufacturer of custom-engineered process equipment for the refinery, petrochemical, chemical, fertilizer, oil & gas and energy industries.

The project scope includes the supply of 30 Heat Exchangers, manufactured using a range of materials including Stainless Steel, Duplex, Inconel and Clad constructions. The diverse material requirements reflect the demanding process conditions associated with modern refinery and petrochemical applications.

Tinita Engineering’s Dangote Refinery Project Milestone

Securing the order for the Dangote Refinery expansion project is a significant achievement for Tinita Engineering.
The order was secured after competing with leading global players and reflects the company’s capabilities in engineering, material selection, fabrication, quality control and execution of critical process equipment.

For Tinita Engineering, the project represents more than another equipment order. It demonstrates the company’s ability to participate in technically demanding international projects where equipment quality, reliability, material expertise and delivery performance are essential.

The order marks another important milestone for Tinita Engineering, further strengthening the company’s involvement in major international projects such as the Dangote Refinery expansion.

With its growing international presence, Tinita Engineering continues to expand its role as a trusted manufacturing partner for customers across key process industries.

30 Heat Exchangers in Multiple Material Configurations

The announced order comprises 30 Heat Exchangers, including equipment manufactured using:

Stainless Steel
Duplex Stainless Steel
Inconel
Clad Construction
These materials have been selected for the specific requirements of the Dangote Refinery expansion project, where equipment may be required to operate under demanding temperature, pressure and corrosion conditions.

Material selection plays a critical role in heat exchanger performance, particularly in refinery and petrochemical services where equipment may be exposed to elevated temperatures, pressure, corrosive process fluids and demanding operating conditions.

Different process services require different combinations of mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, thermal performance and material compatibility. Tinita Engineering’s experience with high-performance and corrosion-resistant materials enables the company to manufacture heat-transfer equipment for such challenging applications.

Supporting the Dangote Refinery Expansion in Nigeria

The Dangote Refinery is one of the most significant refinery and petrochemical developments in Africa.

Located in the Lekki Free Zone near Lagos, Nigeria, the Dangote Refinery has been developed as an integrated refining and petrochemical complex. has an existing nameplate capacity of approximately 650,000 barrels per day. The company is now pursuing further expansion, with plans to increase refining capacity to approximately 1.4 million barrels per day over the coming years.

The expansion of the Dangote Refinery is expected to significantly increase refining capacity and strengthen the facility’s role in Nigeria’s energy and petrochemical sector.

The expansion is part of a broader strategy to increase refining and petrochemical production capacity and strengthen Nigeria’s position within the African energy and industrial landscape.

As major refinery and petrochemical facilities expand, reliable process equipment becomes increasingly important. Heat exchangers are among the essential equipment used throughout refinery processes for heating, cooling, condensing and recovering energy from process streams.

Tinita Engineering’s participation in this project therefore represents an important contribution to a major international process-industry development.

Heat Exchangers for the Dangote Refinery Expansion

Heat exchangers are essential process equipment in refinery and petrochemical facilities, supporting heating, cooling, condensation and heat recovery operations.
