Abeg how many people dey use the diesel jet A1? The one that is important to tje common man is delayed

Diesel is more important than pms.

Without diesel the poor man won't have a job, where he works



The economy runs in it not pms. Every big industry relies on it

drstan:
and the petrol produced from the furnace will meet standard (octane level) ?

After that it's just additives and colors but the primary Petrol is already out and he can't throw it away

Lol,Scam.

bonnyhope:


You are still looking at it from the elementary side of it.. It is more complex than you imagined.

Oga there is nothing like elementary fractional distillation, fractional distillation is fractional distillation and the process will happen in one distillator , once they turn it out petrol must come out before deisel

What of the small to medium industry? They're left to die abi?

Lolz, see levels..

Nodogragra4me:



It is you that don't know what you are harping on.


Pms is the first product out of the heating process because it is lighter.


What is the issue is that they cannot be allowed by DPR to do pms for now because the tanks needs to be checked even though leak test was carried out on them

Chief close your mouth, why waste you strength.
Leave the other guy, make e dey cap nonsense dey defend ignorance, and their criminality.

PMS is Gasoline and it is the first fractions after Methane, ethane, propane etc (LPGs)

udemzyudex:


What of the small to medium industry? They're left to die abi?

The lifewire of the small industry is the AGO unless you are making claims for barbers and small restaurants


Everywhere you see machines, AGO NOT PMS is at work including fuel stations unless the small ones in villages and hamlets

okeysoninv:
not entirely true, petroleum will still under further refining to meet the quality octane. So ur submission is not true.

Just isomerization if need be and additives but at that point petrol is already out of the distillator

asamaigho:

which one is section for petrol not ready?
Is it not a fractional distillation process again?
is the the distilation separation tank not dsame for all product?
Abeg nigerians r not fools, they should stop all this deception

He doesn't have any friend there. It is all this small boys on Nairaland trying to make themselves chairmen

Nigerians never stops o amaze me. Every time a story of Dangote refinery comes up, I see a lot of people complaining. Some go as far as saying the refinery is a scam.

First and foremost, there is no businessman who doesn't want to make money from his investment. Dangote wants to make money, and he has invested billions into this project, and he will do anything to make sure it succeeds. Like every other businesses, there are going to be hiccups and delays and other issues before it fully kicks off. This is not a fast food restaurant project. Engineering and mechanical projects of this magnitude will certainly face challenges before fully operational.

Why are people calling this project scam?? Like really??

Dangote wants to make money and he certainly will. I think you guyz should focus on your own life and projects cause Dangote will succeed with this.

People that are ment. The way they reason at times amazes me. I go spend money of that magnitude and the thing no go work? Well most of them haven't been to the location before that's why they are yarning dust

SalamRushdie:


If you know how fractional distillation works you will not say this , all products are run in one swoop

Thanks bro, the guy am sure is ignorant of the distillation process

drstan:
My friend working there said the section for petrol production is not ready that it's only kerosene, diesel and other's that are ready

Your friend works as a labourer so he doesn't know what is what... Just carrying rod and cement about the complex



There is not section for pms. Everything goes into the same distillation tanks because there is no different crude for pms and others


You and your casual worker friend are both ignoramuses

drstan:
My friend working there said the section for petrol production is not ready that it's only kerosene, diesel and other's that are ready

Your friend is a dullard sorry to say cos all products are refined at the same time but at different boiling points.

I'm telling you. Nigerians are the worst

nonhuman:
Another lame excuse
Someone was saying that refinary is yet to be finished, in every rumore there some truth

Its a private refinery, whatever happens to it is dangote business. You can apply to build your own successful refinery.

googlepikins:
The same scam , different tactics.

The so called crude oil ship was Jet fuel.

How can you refine crude oil and get jet fuel first before petrol, at this point USA need to release Hushpuppi because Dangote has been a bigger thief

shey na hatred reach this

arrest dangote?


e thief you money?

Great

Is PMS not one of the most volatile fractions of peteoleum?

People, during the refining process, PMS is one of the earliest products to distill over, while DPK and AGO, being heavier, collect lower in the tower and mostly after PMS is completely removed because PMS vaporises at lower temperatures.

So, WHY THE DELAY IN PETROL PRODUCTION?!?!?

Even physical processes are turned upside-down because this is Nigeria!

SalamRushdie:

This is half truth and you know this can be misleading, unless you are ignorant of what you just typed which I assume you are.

Distillation is just the first step of refining crude oil. Distillation is where we get different fractions of crude oil byproducts. It doesn't ends there, to get a refined petrol it further goes through the Conversion process that further breaks down heavier hydrocarbons into lighter ones using "Catalytic cracking " here High temperature and the use of a catalyst is used to achieve this.
After this is the Treatment phase, where the refined petrol is treated for its impurities it contains. Hydroheating and desulfurisation is employed here.
The final stage is the Blending stage, here the now more refined petrol is added with other fraction products of distillation process to produce the desired blend of petrol to meet the specific requirements.

So you can see petrol still needs to be further refined unlike other fractional products like kerosene, naphtals, gas and the rest.

nony43:
What is the need of the refinery is buying petrol won’t be cheaper?

this is the key question most Nigerians will ask,how much will dangote sell the products,let us not jump up for joy until we see their prices,dangote is not a charitable organization

SalamRushdie:


If you know how fractional distillation works you will not say this , all products are run in one swoop

Sir, that's chemistry knowledge. In chemical engineering crude distillation only produce a small quantity of gasoline (petrol) which is not even situable of use because of it low octane number. The major unit that produces the bulk of petrol is the fluid catalytic cracking unit (FCC). The FCC will use residue from the crude distillation unit (CDU) called heavy gas oil or residue from Vaccum distillation unit (VDU) called Vaccum gas oil to produce a much higher grade of petrol and at a commercial quantity. If the FCC is not ready, u can't reply on the small low grade petrol produced on ordinary fractional distillation...
NB. I'm talking from a experience.

mukthar2000:
Any were the like make the Hit,
I don't know why most Nigeria's hoping that the refinery is coming to solve Nigerian petroleum high cost, forgotten that Dangote cement price still night cost without any solution.

The refinery was built to address FX issues which ultimately in the long run reduces price.

Wash wash don't believe anything they are telling you. They just want to sell the crude to international market and make quick money while still putting finishing touches to there refinery
Jokers

No,all products are not run in one swoop.Infact,the fraction from the distillation column that can be used as petrol is usuallyof low octane rating.Refineries usually blend it with products from Reforming units and cracking units to get good petrol.

Nodogragra4me:




Thr problem is regulatory and is the best way to go



The pms line in that distillation tank will be locked so it won't flow out into the storage tanks for them.


The crude itself will be pump into the channels and allowes days to settle and they begin to trace for leaks because it is dark it can help to identify leaks in it line

Ok

drstan:
My friend working there said the section for petrol production is not ready that it's only kerosene, diesel and other's that are ready

If you say storage facility for kerosene is ready I would believe do you know what is fractional distillation process every thing comes out once it reaches its stage. May be storage facility for fuel is not ready or something more than what we are hearing

THE CRAZY CITIZEN WILL SURELY DELAYED THE PETROLEUM

Na everybody get friend for that refinery.

seunmsg:
We are making progress and it’s commendable.

who are the "we" that are making progress?

I thought Dangote refinery is private refinery? who come be the "we"? are you his partner in the refinery?

where are Nigeria's four refineries after buhari spent billions of dollars on them?

firearcher:
This is not a government project so pessimists and naysayers can be sure it will operate, regardless of the delays and hiccups. Its not a matter of if but of when.

No private investment of this magnitude is built to not function. Or how will investors make their return without profit and how can there be profit it it doesn't operate.

I think cynics will better spend their time arguing other topics like whether it will reduce price, how long before Nigeria start feeling its impacts, etc.

Don't mind Nigeria citizens especially the Igbos......they don't want this country to work at all

They're only after disintegration
