hangzhou water treatment has recently signed a contract with guangdong electric power design institute (gedi) of china energy engineering group for the 14,400m3/ton sea water desalination project, a supportive facility for the bot (build, operate, transfer) of vinh tan phase i coal-fired power plant in vietnam. it’s hangzhou water treatment’s second infrastructure supportive facility contract in vietnam following the water treatment project contract for the duyen hai phase iii coal-fired power plant project granted by b&v engineering in the united states in february this year.
the vinh tan phase i project is located in binh thuan province, designed to build two 620mw domestic supercritical units and expected to involve a total investment of usd 1.755 billion. it’s so far china’s biggest investment in power plants in vietnam and also china’s first bot electricity project in the country. the project receives generous support from both chinese and vietnamese governments and state leaders, who make it clear that it’s a major project reflecting bilateral pragmatic cooperation and raise strict requirements on the project quality and progress. hangzhou water treatment has stood out among many other water treatment companies at home and abroad with its absolute advantages in desalination, management and services, and won the recognition of gedi to provide fresh water to the power plant, including water for industrial and firefighting purposes, domestic water and boiler feed water.
the project has two different water sources: the sea water and the demineralized water, posing a bigger challenge for project integration. thanks to its years of experience accumulated from major engineering projects, hangzhou water treatment has successfully guaranteed the shift between different water sources with genius design and flexible application, and solved the technical difficulty for the project. it has also strictly overseen the project progress, made sure that all the tasks were finished as scheduled, and actively advanced the construction progress of the coal-fired power plant project.
hangzhou water treatment has for years been committed to serving clients with world advanced water treatment technology and efficient total solutions. as the national research centre for the membrane technology for liquid separation, hangzhou water treatment has been specialized in the membrane technologies for water treatment for nearly 50 years, and boasts china’s biggest manufacturing base for water treatment systems, with the annual production capacity of 700,000 tons. relying on its advantages in membrane technologies for water treatment, hangzhou water treatment tightens its grip on project management and engineering quality and has grabbed more than 60% of the desalination market share in china. it proposed the development strategy of international marketing in 2006 and has undertaken several water treatment projects in indonesia, tunis, the philippines, saudi arabia and vietnam since then, for which it provides technical consultation, complete engineering units and customer services in strict accordance with international production standards, strongly guarantees the stable operation of these projects. it has won the recognition of world advanced engineering companies and project management companies and become their major supplier in china.
since the belt and road initiative was proposed, hangzhou water treatment, as an exemplar company in the initiative efforts, has received attention from mainstream media including cctv. the signing of this contract is another active step to practice the belt and road initiative. the head of hangzhou water treatment promised to do whatever it took to build the project into an “advanced, reliable, green” demonstration power plant, a boutique project of the belt and road initiative, to carefully explore the regional market and national markets, strengthen its competitiveness in project operation and technological upgrade, and spread china’s top notch technology and advanced construction and management experience to the whole world.
