Why it mattersWhat happened The Forge Plant Cognition platform is being introduced at the Dangote refinery in Lekki, Lagos.

Honeywell’s preliminary estimate is more than 29 cents in operational benefits per barrel, or roughly $60 million a year if the refinery runs at full capacity. The company cautions that these estimates are not guaranteed.
