South Korea Doosan Enerbility Vietnam (Doosan Vina) has shipped a cargo of made-in-Việt Nam steel structures to the Golden Triangle Polymers Plant, an integrated polymers facility being developed in Orange County, Texas in the US, after more than 10 months of production.
Doosan Vina said the nine steel structure modules weighing 1,900 tonnes were a part of the Golden Triangle Polymers project (GTPP) that was signed between Doosan Vina and the joint venture ZDJV and investor CP Chem in 2023, including 18 modules with a total weight of 4,589 tonnes.
It said the remaining nine modules had also been almost completed and were in the process of pressure testing, installing electrical troughs and related parts for timely handover to customers on April 16.
Doosan Vina General Director Kim Hyo Tae said: “We are very proud winning the contract to supply 18 modules for the US market for the first time and this is the first project that all of the steel structures are galvanized and fireproof painted with the participation of the joint venture ZDJV and investor CPChem.”
“Also, moving towards sustainable development and a low-carbon future, we are proud to contribute to creating products that generate 25 per cent lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to similar facilities in Europe and the US,” Kim Hyo Tae added.

Quảng Ngãi province-based Doosan Vina has been producing 140 modules for international customers, including 39 modules for the Ruwais Refinery in the UAE, 35 modules for the Sarawak Methanol Plant in Malaysia, 26 modules for the Cariflex IR Latex Asia project phase one in Singapore, 18 modules for the Golden Triangle Polymers project in the US, and is currently producing four modules for the North Field Expansion Project EPC-2 in Qatar and 18 modules for the Ras Laffan Petrochemical project, also in Qatar.
Doosan said the Golden Triangle project was expected to be put into operation in 2026, and it would become one of the largest integrated polymers facilities in the world with one ethylene cracker unit with processing capacity of 2.08 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) and two high-density polyethylene units with a combined capacity of 2mtpa.
Doosan Vina is a high-tech industrial complex in the Dung Quất Economic Zone in the central Quảng Ngãi Province.
The company supplies mega infrastructure products including boilers for thermal power plants, desalination plants, cargo container crane for seaports, fired heaters, modules and structural steel for petrochemical refineries, buildings and infrastructure developments. VNS
