ABU Builds 1-barrel-per-day Oil Refinery by bulakos25(m): 11:10pm On Nov 11, 2016 |
The Department of Chemical Engineering of the Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria, has established a refinery with capacity to process one barrel of crude oil per day. The team leader of the project, Professor Ibrahim Ali Muhammad Dabo told our correspondent who visited the refinery site that at present the refinery would be used mainly for the training of students, although the department had the manpower to build a refinery that would be bigger than that of Kaduna if it had government support. “The initial idea was to construct a 1,000 barrel-capacity refinery, but lack of funding limited us to this one, where we would now be refining one barrel per day,” Dabo said, adding that more than 80 per cent of the materials used for the construction of the refinery were sourced locally. “Only the controls were sourced from Hong Kong. No expatriate was hired from abroad. All those that were engaged in this project are Nigerians. Therefore, this mini refinery is a product of Nigerian brains. If government can come in, we have the ability to do wonderful things, not only refinery. This is our training and it is what our department is meant for,” he said. He explained that beside the land and fencing that ABU provided, the project cost only about N20 million. Professor Dabo further stated that the idea of the mini refinery was conceived about 15 years back, but work commenced fully in the year 2011. www.dailytrust.com.ng/news/general/abu-builds-1-barrel-per-day-oil-refinery/171165.html 43 Likes 5 Shares

nice, the solution to our problems is within us. don't mind the man that said we will start producing pencil in 2018. Nigerians are gifted either one way or the other but greediness at the top chamber will not allow our talents to shine through. 48 Likes |

FrankLampard: Yet the country sells fuel as high as N175/ltr in many places despite the so-called abundance of refineries in the SS? Illiteracy kills faster than anything at least in our society. I blame your parents. 101 Likes 7 Shares |

Nigerian government, what are you waiting for?? Instead of funding one of your projects that we won't see, give this university a grant to produce a large scale refinery Dangote does not have to have the monopoly on it when there are many talented minds across the country that need it more 4 Likes |

Buy crude oil from government, refine it for a period of one month or so, if you survive with it on your consumptions, then expect talks with govt and other private sectors.... |

Kudos to you. But building a refinery of a barrel per day isn't something to be excited about. It's not an invention. You haven't introduced anything new. Moreover, should the government always be the one to assist projects? What happened to selling yourself to private investors who might be willing to partner with you? Expecting the government to come and help expand your capacity is an unfortunate display of shortsightedness. Well done all the same. 19 Likes 2 Shares |

FrankLampard:what oil bunkerers do is batch distillation which is not econonical. They target only one fraction (product), petrol. A refinery is composed of a fractional distillation unit and other important unit operations. 32 Likes 1 Share |

This just shows that there's an abundance of talents in this country waiting to be harnessed, The Govt and private entrepreneurs should be willing to invest in these 'hot brains' and see how things will turn around for this country. Enough dependence on 'Imported talents' already 1 Like |
