Dangote Fertilizer is a large-scale complex in Lagos, that produces 3 million tonnes of urea and ammonia per year. It is the largest granulated urea fertilizer complex in Africa and the world.

WABAG has realised for this Greenfield Fertilizer complex the raw water treatment plant to produce various water qualities to ensure plant operation. Lagoon water is treated by a combination of biological treatment and Ultrafiltration/Reverse Osmosis as tertiary treatment for a production capacity of 60,000 m3/d.

In addition, WABAG was awarded to deliver a demineralization plant to produce demineralized water after raw water treatment. Ion exchange and mixed bed filter technologies have been employed.

• Scope: Design & Build
• Technologies:
• • Biological Treatment (SBR) – (4 x 810 m3/h)
  • Dual Media Filter (10 x 391 m3/h)
  • Ultrafiltration (6 x 691 m3/h)
  • Reverse Osmosis (6 x 565 m3/h) –
• For the production of: Demin water: 120 m3/h, Cooling tower make-up: 2,140 m3/h, Service water: 100 m3/h.
• Impact: WABAG’s advanced water treatment solutions play a critical role in supporting the operation of the world’s largest granulated urea fertilizer complex, Dangote Fertilizer, in Lagos. By providing various qualities of industrial water, we ensure a reliable water supply for the facility’s operations, contributing to Africa’s agricultural growth and food security.
