China Steel Corporation Xiaogang plant (中國鋼鐵股份有限公司 簡稱臺灣中鋼 小港廠區) is a steel plant in Kaohsiung, Taiwan that operates blast furnace (BF), basic oxygen furnace (BOF), and electric arc furnace (EAF) technology.
Location
The map below shows the exact location of the plant in Kaohsiung, Taiwan:
- Location: No. 1, Zhonggang Road, Xiaogang District, Kaohsiung City, Taiwan
- Coordinates (WGS 84): 22.555442, 120.349252 (exact)
Background
In 1977, CSC underwent privatization and transformed from a private enterprise into a state-owned enterprise. In the first phase of the construction project, the annual crude steel production capacity reached 1.5 million metric tons. By 1982, the second phase of the construction project was completed, and the cumulative annual crude steel production capacity reached 3.25 million metric tons. In 1988, the third phase of the expansion project was completed, and the cumulative annual crude steel production capacity reached 5.652 million metric tons. In 1995, CSC transformed from a state-owned enterprise back into a privately-owned company. In 1997, the fourth phase of the expansion project was completed, and the cumulative annual crude steel production capacity reached 8.054 million metric tons. By 2006, due to equipment upgrades and improvements over the years, the production capacity had substantially increased, and the revised cumulative annual crude steel production capacity was 9.86 million metric tons. In 2008, the acquisition of 100% equity of CSC was completed. In 2010, the first phase of the second stage of the expansion project of CSC was completed, and the cumulative annual crude steel production capacity reached 13.36 million metric tons. In 2013, the second phase of the second stage of the expansion project of CSC was completed, and the cumulative annual crude steel production capacity reached 15.86 million metric tons.[1]
China Steel Corporation owns both Dragon Steel plants and the China Steel Structure, which helped to build the CSC plant.[2][3]
