Danish companies help build green bituminous binders processing plant in Vietnam

• Denmark supports Vietnam to develop wind power
• Vietnam, Denmark boost investment cooperation

The bituminous binders processing plantwill have a Storage Capacity of 12,000 MT with a second phase upgrade to 30,000 MT. It is expected to be a top-notch environmental friendly bitumen emulsion and polymer modified bitumen plant, which is also a state-of-the-art packing facility to facilitate exports of hi-tech bituminous products to regional markets and acts as its own port facility for importing and exporting bituminous products.

This under-construction plant is part of Vung Ro Petroleum’s attempt to produce its own high-quality bituminous binders compliant to Vietnamese Standards, American Superpave Performance Grade Standards and other standards required by customers in the region.

Kirill Korolev, CEO of Vung Ro Petroleum, believes that this project will contribute significantly to Vietnam’s infrastructure development.“The road, airport and port infrastructure of a country are barometers for its advancement, wealth and prosperity. We, at Vung Ro Petroleum, are proud to contribute to this development with our full commitment and selecting the world’s best technology providers to bring possibly the best materials and science to the Vietnamese Market,” he said.

“Together with our partners, international vendors and some of our best scientists from Denmark, we will deliver a cutting-edge facility and technology for Vung Ro Petroleum and help bring in pavement design which has longer-life and can solve the local engineering problems of the Vietnamese Construction and Industrial Sectors,”commits Dr. Bernd Schmidt, CEO of BITUMINA GROUP.

“We are proud to see today one of our great companies bring advanced technologies to Vietnam and help build better sustainable materials for the country’s infrastructure. Denmark is well knownfor its environmental friendly and ecological focus in Urban and Infrastructure Development. We are assured that Vietnam will highly benefit from our expertise in high-tech industries, “said Bo Monsted, the Commercial Counselor from Embassy of Denmark in Vietnam.
