Securing water as a production factor.

In industrial settings, water quality requirements vary across sectors like power generation, refineries, petrochemical plants, steel works, food & beverages, and more. Whether it is for manufacturing, processing, cooling, or cleaning, each industry has specific and different water quality requirements.  WABAG provides tailored water management solutions, offering a comprehensive portfolio from conventional to high-performance systems, including membrane processes. Our expertise ensures secure water supply in terms of quantity and quality, enabling sustainable economic strategies. We prioritize reliable, efficient, and cost-effective systems that meet stringent safety standards. 

Whenever possible, we give precedence to the installation of sustainable water recycling systems, which not only safeguard natural resources but also yield economic savings.

Complete Water Management for the new Dangote Refinery at Lekki Free Zone, Nigeria – Africa’s biggest Oil Refinery.

For the new Grass Root Petroleum Refinery and Petrochemical Complex of the DANGOTE Group in Nigeria, WABAG has implemented a comprehensive water management system, encompassing raw water intake, treatment, demineralization, a condensate polishing unit, and effluent treatment/recycling. 

Advanced technologies such as MARAPUR-MBR®, ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis, biofiltration (WABAG BIOPUR®), SBR-CYCLOPUR®, and spent caustic treatment are employed. Treated effluents, cooling tower, and boiler blowdown streams undergo further processing in a reverse osmosis-based demineralization plant for sustainable water recycling. Commissioning of all units was completed in 2023.
