Industries and Applications We Supply

Industry Applications
Oil & Gas Industry

Vietnam’s oil and gas sector, dominated by the state-owned PetroVietnam group, represents the largest consumer of stainless steel flanges in the country. The industry’s expansion into offshore fields, development of marginal reserves, and emphasis on gas monetization creates sustained demand for corrosion-resistant piping components.

Offshore Production Platforms: The Nam Con Son Basin, Cuu Long Basin, and Block B-Ô Môn developments feature production platforms where stainless steel flanges provide critical connections in highly corrosive environments. Duplex and super duplex grades (F51, F53) resist chloride stress corrosion cracking from seawater spray while providing the strength required for compact topside piping layouts.

Subsea wellhead connections, production manifolds, and riser connections utilize super duplex flanges for their combination of mechanical strength and resistance to sour gas containing H2S and CO2. These flanges must maintain integrity despite continuous exposure to corrosive produced water, thermal cycling from production variations, and dynamic loading from platform motion.

Gas Processing Facilities: Vietnam’s transition toward natural gas as primary energy source drives investment in gas processing infrastructure. The Ca Voi Xanh (Blue Whale) gas field development and associated processing facilities require extensive stainless steel piping for amine treating units, dehydration systems, and gas compression.

Stainless steel flanges in amine regeneration systems resist the corrosive nature of activated amine solutions, particularly at elevated regeneration temperatures where carbon steel corrosion rates become unacceptable. Grade 316L provides adequate resistance for most amine services, while duplex grades offer enhanced resistance in high-chloride environments.

Mercury removal systems, increasingly common as Vietnam exploits offshore gas reserves containing natural mercury, utilize specialized stainless steel materials to resist liquid mercury corrosion that destroys aluminum alloys and carbon steel. Super austenitic or nickel-based alloy flanges provide long-term reliability in these specialized applications.

Crude Oil Refineries: The Dung Quat refinery (Quang Ngai Province) and Nghi Son refinery (Thanh Hoa Province) incorporate stainless steel flanges throughout their complex process units. Hydrotreating and hydrocracking units utilize Grade 321 and 347 flanges for their resistance to high-temperature hydrogen attack and sulfidation.

Fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) units require stainless steel flanges in regenerator flue gas systems where temperatures exceed 650°C and flue gas contains sulfur compounds that corrode carbon steel. The titanium-stabilized Grade 321 maintains mechanical properties and corrosion resistance under these demanding conditions.

Sour water stripper systems, which remove H2S and ammonia from process water, use Grade 316L flanges for their resistance to this corrosive environment. The combination of hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, and water creates conditions that cause rapid corrosion of carbon steel and stress corrosion cracking of some stainless grades.

LNG Import Infrastructure: Vietnam’s first LNG import terminal at Thi Vai (Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province) marks the country’s entry into LNG importation to supplement declining domestic gas production. The regasification facility requires extensive use of 316L and 304L stainless steel flanges for cryogenic service (-162°C) where low-temperature toughness is critical.

Cryogenic piping systems from LNG storage tanks through vaporizers demand materials that maintain ductility at -162°C without brittle fracture. Austenitic stainless steels retain their face-centered cubic crystal structure at cryogenic temperatures, providing the toughness required for safe LNG service. Charpy impact testing at -196°C verifies adequate toughness.

Seawater warming systems that vaporize LNG use titanium or super duplex stainless steel flanges on the seawater side due to the combination of high chloride content, biofouling organisms, and elevated design pressures. Conventional stainless steels experience accelerated corrosion in warm seawater (above 30°C) containing sulfate-reducing bacteria.

Power Generation

  • Vietnam’s electrical power industry represents the third-largest consumer of stainless steel flanges, with applications spanning thermal, combined-cycle, and renewable energy facilities.Gas-Fired Combined Cycle Plants: PetroVietnam Power operates multiple gas-fired power stations where stainless steel flanges serve in high-temperature steam systems and gas turbine fuel systems. The high-pressure steam superheater and reheater sections require Grade 321 or 347 flanges for creep resistance and oxidation resistance at 540-565°C operating temperatures.Gas turbine exhaust systems transitioning to heat recovery steam generators (HRSG) utilize stainless steel expansion joints and flanges to accommodate thermal expansion while resisting the corrosive products of natural gas combustion. Chromium-nickel stainless alloys resist oxidation and hot corrosion in these applications.Coal-Fired Power Plants: Although Vietnam is transitioning away from coal, existing facilities in Hai Phong and other industrial zones use stainless steel flanges in flue gas desulfurization (FGD) systems and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems. The combination of sulfurous acid, chlorides, and elevated temperatures in FGD scrubbers requires duplex or super austenitic stainless steel for adequate corrosion resistance.Boiler feedwater systems utilize Grade 316L flanges in high-purity water service where even trace contamination from carbon steel corrosion causes boiler tube failures. The entire condensate and feedwater train from condenser through deaerator to economizer uses stainless steel to maintain water purity.

    Biomass and Waste-to-Energy: Vietnam’s growing renewable energy sector includes biomass combustion and municipal waste incineration facilities where stainless steel flanges resist the highly corrosive combustion products. Biomass ash contains alkali metals, chlorides, and sulfur compounds that cause rapid high-temperature corrosion of carbon steel.

Petrochemical Processing 
  • Vietnam’s rapidly expanding petrochemical sector, exemplified by the Long Son Petrochemicals complex in Ba Ria-Vung Tau, creates significant demand for stainless steel flanges resistant to a wide array of chemicals.Olefins Production: The Long Son complex’s steam cracker produces 1,350,000 tons annually of ethylene and propylene feedstocks for downstream plastic production. High-temperature cracking furnaces utilize Grade 321 stainless steel flanges for transfer line connections operating at 800-850°C where thermal cycling and oxidation resistance are critical.Quench water systems that rapidly cool cracked gas require stainless steel flanges resistant to corrosive condensate containing organic acids, hydrogen sulfide, and chlorides. The combination of thermal shock, corrosive environment, and high velocities demands robust materials and design.Compression systems that pressurize cracked gas for downstream processing use Grade 316L flanges for their resistance to condensing organic acids in interstage coolers. The repeated thermal cycling from startup and shutdown operations requires materials that resist thermal fatigue cracking.Polymerization Plants: Polyethylene and polypropylene production facilities utilize stainless steel flanges in catalyst preparation systems, reactor feed systems, and polymer finishing operations. The high-purity requirements of these processes demand stainless steel to prevent contamination from corrosion products that degrade polymer properties.

    High-pressure polyethylene reactors operating at 1,500-3,000 bar pressure and 150-300°C temperature require Class 1500 or 2500 stainless steel flanges capable of containing these extreme conditions safely. The combination of pressure, temperature, and corrosive monomer requires careful material selection and joint design.

    Aromatics Production: BTX (benzene, toluene, xylene) extraction and purification facilities use stainless steel flanges in solvent recovery systems where aromatic hydrocarbon compatibility is required. Carbon steel suffers hydrogen attack in these applications, while stainless steel provides long-term reliability.

    Terephthalic acid production facilities, key to Vietnam’s growing polyester industry, require stainless steel flanges throughout the oxidation, purification, and crystallization sections. The combination of acetic acid solvent, corrosive oxidation byproducts, and elevated temperatures (150-250°C) makes stainless steel the only viable material choice.




Water & Wastewater Treatment
  • Vietnam’s investment in municipal water infrastructure and industrial wastewater treatment creates steady demand for stainless steel flanges resistant to chlorinated water, ozone, and various treatment chemicals.Desalination Plants: Central Vietnam’s water-scarce provinces are developing desalination capacity using reverse osmosis (RO) and multi-stage flash (MSF) technologies. Seawater intake systems require duplex stainless steel flanges (F51) for resistance to biofouling, pitting corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking in warm seawater.High-pressure RO membrane feed pumps operating at 55-70 bar pressure use Grade 316L flanges for their combination of chloride resistance and mechanical properties. The high-purity permeate water, though corrosivity low, still requires stainless steel to prevent any metallic contamination affecting drinking water quality.Brine discharge systems returning concentrated seawater to the ocean utilize duplex or super duplex flanges depending on brine temperature and concentration. Hot brine (above 60°C) with chloride concentrations exceeding 55,000 ppm (1.6× seawater) can pit conventional austenitic stainless steels, requiring higher-alloy materials.Wastewater Treatment Plants: Municipal wastewater treatment facilities in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Da Nang use Grade 316L flanges in chlorination systems, ozone generation equipment, and aeration systems. The combination of chlorine, bacteria-containing water, and ambient temperature creates mildly corrosive conditions where stainless steel provides economical long-term service.

    Industrial wastewater pretreatment systems, particularly in Vietnam’s textile, food processing, and pharmaceutical sectors, require stainless steel for chemical dosing systems, pH adjustment equipment, and disinfection systems. The variety of chemicals encountered (acids, bases, oxidizers, organic solvents) makes stainless steel the versatile material choice
