Boiler: A boiler is considered the heart of the thermal power plants and the Doosan VinaBoiler BU has manufactured boilers with total generating capacity of 5,860 MW. These boilers arecurrently producingelectricity and fueling the development of Brazil, Egypt and India and for perspective if the total 5,860 MW had been installed in Vietnam, which is equal to nearly one third of the country’s total generating capacity, it would be capable of supplying electricity to nearly 11 million additional households in the country. Today, Doosan Vina’s Boiler BU is working onthe 1,200 MW Mong Duong II in Vietnam’s Quang Ninh Province and will produce 8.1 billion kWh per year.
HRSG: By capturingwasted thermal energy and turning it into electricity, the earth friendly Heat Recovery Steam Generator’s or HRSG’s made by Doosan Vina are saving money and adding 30% efficiency to power plants. One example is the HRSG unit now hard at work producing 750 MW at the Nhon Trach II power plant near HCMC. HRSG’s skilled workers have manufactured and shipped sevenprojects to since opening and HRSG equipment has been delivered to customers in Romania, Thailand, Saudi Arabia, France, Indiaand Vietnam.

Water: A sea water desalination evaporator is a size of a football field, weighs 4,000 tons and produces approximately 100 million liters of fresh water per day. Doosan Vina evaporators are satisfying the thirst of millions in the Middle East and soon Ly Son islanders of Quang Ngai will be enjoying their first ever local water source when the installation of the near $1 million generators and desalination plants are completed. Currently, all Water’s employees are busy fabricating three units in the order of eight units in the world’slargest ever desalination project that Doosan signed with Saudi Arabia. Once completed, it will produce nearly 800 million liters of water every day and bring life to the arid lands and the thirsty people of Saudi Arabia.
