At Nigeria's Dangote refinery, the platform could generate more than $60 million in annual gross benefits at full capacity. Honeywell Technologies has announced the launch of Forge Plant Cognition, an industrial AI platform built with NVIDIA AI and accelerated computing capabilities, and Dell Technologies' AI infrastructure. The platform is designed to help refining, petrochemical and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) operators generate greater value from their existing assets and transform plant operations. Launching first at Dangote's petroleum refinery in Lekki, Nigeria – one of the world's largest single-train refineries – the project is targeting an increase in throughput while strengthening the capabilities of its local engineering and operations teams. Based on preliminary data, Honeywell Technologies estimates that AI-enabled optimization with Forge Plant Cognition could deliver operational benefit [1] of more than 29 cents a barrel at the Lekki Refinery. At full-capacity throughput, this would generate more than $60 million in gross benefit per year for this specific facility. [2] Built on Honeywell Technologies' recently launched Forge Cognition platform, the new solution combines process technology expertise, industrial automation and AI capabilities to help operators identify performance constraints, anticipate problems and translate insights into actions that improve...
