Case Study: Large-Diameter Butterfly Valves for Vietnam Water Treatment Plant

Case Study: Large-Diameter Butterfly Valves for Vietnam Water Treatment Plant

Background

A leading water treatment facility in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, serving a major urban population, faced recurring valve failure and leakage issues in their aging pipeline network. Some original butterfly valves installed decades ago began to exhibit seal deterioration and reduced operational reliability, risking inconsistent water supply. Vucico

Challenge

• Legacy infrastructure with non-standard valve interfaces required direct reverse compatibility for replacement.Vucico

• The plant needed valves capable of withstanding tropical heat, heavy usage, and long operational life with low maintenance.Vucico

• Compliance with ANSI/AWWA standards was also required due to the system’s role as a primary water supply network.Vucico

Solution

We supplied a range of large-diameter butterfly valves engineered to meet or exceed required operating temperature ratings, actuation options (electric or hydraulic), and flange compatibility to seamlessly replace outdated units. Vucico
Our design incorporated robust sealing elements, corrosion-resistant coatings, and easy-maintenance features to reduce downtime.

Results

• Zero leakage observed post-installation, with consistent operation over extended periods.

• Downtime reduced significantly, maintaining uninterrupted water delivery to the city.

• Utility operators reported improved system reliability and reduced maintenance costs.

• The project ensured stable water flow, critical in a large urban setting.Vucico
