Doosan Heavy Industries Vietnam (Doosan Vina) transported the last of four shipments of desalination equipment to its client, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, as part of the company’s Yanbu Phase 3 project.

The freshwater generator, which is capable of purifying 95 million litres of seawater per day, is the eighth of its kind made by Doosan Vina’s plant in the Central province of Quang Ngai.

Weighing approximately 4,500 tonnes, the gigantic machine is 34.4m wide and 143m long. The machine is scheduled to arrive in Saudi Arabia within a few weeks.

Doosan Vina General Director Hang Ha Ryu said the successful completion of orders like this demonstrated the high level of technical competence and skills of Vietnamese workers.

Doosan Vina is a joint investment in Vietnam by Doosan Heavy Industry Inc. and Doosan Engineering & Construction from the Republic of Korea.-VNA
