Plant

Alexis refinery limited is currently developing a state-of-the-art modular refinery in Delta state. Following initial engagements, we have obtained License to Establish (LTE) and Approval to Construct (ATC) from the Department of petroleum resources, and have completed our preliminary engineering studies, alongside other milestone achievements for the projects. This plant will be strategically located in close proximity to crude supply in order to ensure continuous and reliable supply of feedstock, thus ensuring steady supply of refined petroleum products to the Nigerian market.

The project is a 10,000 BPD plant which will be implemented in phases. The first phase currently under development will process 2,500 BPD of locally available crude to produce AGO, Naphtha and Fuel Oil, with Fuel gas output. This phase is scheduled to be completed and commissioned by the second quater of 2022.

Upon commissioning, this modular refinery will help mitigate the supply gap for petroleum products while aiding government efforts to reposition Nigeria from an import dependent country to an exporting one. This will also create employment and generate internal revenue for Nigeria, promoting her GDP growth. The project being executed in partnership with various national and international experts will implement world-class technologies while adhering strictly to applicable standards and best practices.

Being a people-oriented entity, we understand the environmental dynamics and climate impacts the world is witnessing. That is why the project is being executed with utmost concern to the wellbeing of the workers and members of the host community. In collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Environment, we have successfully conducted an environmental impact assessment on our proposed site and have developed a number of innovative strategies to mitigate all identified challenges.

With NCDMB as one of our partners, Alexis is resolved to maximize the utilization of local content in this project. In line with our Nigerian content plan, Nigerian personnel and services will be prioritized both during the project, as well as in operations and maintenance.

Products

Alexis refinery limited will process Nigerian crude to produce AGO, Naphtha,and Fuel Oil in the first train. Subsequent trains will however be equipped with additional units to produce DPK.

AGO

AGO or Diesel finds application in many areas. It is most commonly used as fuel for diesel engines that power cars, boats, trucks, barges, heavy-duty generators, etc. Desirable qualities required for the fuels include controlled flash points, clean burning, non-formation of deposits in storage tanks, and proper diesel fuel cetane rating for good starting and combustion.

Naphtha

Naphtha is an intermediate hydrocarbon liquid stream derived from refining crude oil. It is further treated to produce gasoline. It is also used for industrial extraction processes and as solvent in the manufacture of paints, dry-cleaning agents and other petrochemicals, cutback asphalts, rubber products, etc.

Fuel Oil

Residual fuel oil is the heaviest fraction obtained either as distillate or residue from the petroleum refining process. Many marine vessels, power plants, commercial buildings and industrial facilities use residual fuels or combination of distillate and residual fuels for heating and processing.

DPK

DPK also known as Kerosene is a middle distillate petroleum product that finds considerable use as jet fuel, and in cooking and space heating. When used as jet fuel, DPK must meet certain critical specifications. Kerosene with less critical specifications is used, for lighting and heating, as solvent, and for diesel fuel blending, among others.
