Flovac’s first project in South Korea

/in , /by

This is a unique project, designed and installed by Flovac’s partners in South Korea Coway EnTech Co. Ltd.

Mr Changil Koh the Deputy Manager in charge of the project, said that vacuum systems are very useful in handling the wastewater from the offices and facilities in industrial projects such as Nuclear Power Plants.  they have also been installed in Oil Refineries and at airport facilities as no power is required at the collection points only at the vacuum station. This means that there are no points of ignition risk within the system.

Mr Koh said that the laying of the HDPE pipework was  a lot easier than using gravity sewers as it could be installed above ground where required or in shallow trenches. There is more than 2 kilometers of pipework involved. Most area’s where industrial complexes are built in flat areas with difficult to construct ground conditions. This is ideal for vacuum sewers.

The Shin-Kori Nuclear Power Plant #5,6 – Sanitary Water Transfer Facility in Busan will be providing much needed power by 2022. It is owned and operated by Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power, a subsidiary of KEPCO. Flovac was chosen for this important project after an exhaustive trial to ensure that all of the Flovac components could handle the extreme conditions where temperatures can often drop to well below freezing.

Coway was established 50 years ago as the first total water solution provider in Korea. CEO Juno Jung has created one of the most trusted companies in the water industry in Korea. With the recent addition of Green Entech, Coway has moved into sustainable solutions for clients both in Korea and in many countries internationally as well.

Coway Entech has developed many unique solutions using vacuum systems for their clients, including being the first company to use stainless steel for their pipework. They were also teh first to use a vacuum sewerage network within a nuclear power facility.

Mr Changil Koh the groups Deputy General Manager visited a number of projects in Australia with Founder and CEO John Radinoff and Flovac’s operations and engineering teams. Over the years Flovac has been host to a number of people from Green Entech and a close relationship of trust and appreciation has formed. Mr Koh felt that Flovac’s products were the most technically advanced on the market and would be able to provide the best support for the Korean projects.
