Doosan Vina, a subsidiary of Korean Doosan Group, today announced it would manufacture desalination evaporators for the world’s largest ever desalination order, the second desalination project it has involved in since officially operating in 2009.

Doosan Vina will be responsible for producing three of the evaporators which will convert salty sea water into 273 million litres of fresh water per day. Each of the football field sized evaporator units will weigh almost 4,000 tonnes.

Those evaporators are parts of eight evaporators for the Ras Az Zawr project in Saudi Arabia. The completed project will be capable of producing 728 million litres of fresh water per day which is enough fresh water to meet the daily fresh water needs of two million people.

The contract was signed recently between Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction and Saudi Arabia.

Doosan Vina’s initial desalination project manufactured the first ever “made in Vietnam” desalination evaporator which is now busy providing 91 million litres of clean healthy water for a quarter million people in the United Arab Emirates.

Doosan’s desalination evaporators use the high tech multi-stage steam and multi-stage flash process to produce clean healthy water.
