Malaysia MCKIP 3.5 Million Ton Steel Project
Project Overview: Malaysia MCKIP 3.5 Million Ton Steel Project
Location: Malaysia
Investor: Union Steel Group (Malaysia)
Equipment Selection:
- Absorption Chillers: Three units of steam-fired LiBr absorption chillers model SXZ6-504
- Cooling Capacity per Unit: 5047 kW
- Steam Pressure: 0.6 MPa
Main Functions & Features:
This project is part of the 3.5 million ton steel manufacturing facility developed by Union Steel Group. The purpose of the absorption chillers is to provide cooling for the steel production processes, which often require precise temperature control to maintain optimal production efficiency and equipment safety.
Key Details:
- Steam-Fired Absorption Chillers: These units are powered by steam (specifically, 0.6 MPa steam pressure), which is generated as part of the plant's overall energy infrastructure. The steam serves as the driving heat source for the chillers, which then provide cooling.
- Cooling Capacity: Each of the three chillers has a cooling capacity of 5047 kW, providing robust cooling capabilities needed for the steel manufacturing process, where significant heat is generated and requires efficient removal to maintain safe operating conditions.
- LiBr (Lithium Bromide) Technology: These are LiBr absorption chillers, which use lithium bromide as an absorbent to provide cooling. This technology is highly energy-efficient and well-suited for industrial applications like steel manufacturing, where large quantities of waste heat (in the form of steam) can be effectively utilized to generate cooling.
Project Importance:
The MCKIP steel project is a major industrial initiative for Union Steel Group, playing a critical role in Malaysia’s steel manufacturing capacity. The integration of steam-fired absorption chillers in this project helps enhance energy efficiency by using waste heat (steam) to drive the cooling process, which significantly reduces operational costs associated with traditional mechanical cooling methods. The chillers will ensure that critical systems within the steel plant remain within the required temperature range for optimal performance.
System Benefits:
- Energy Efficiency: Using waste steam from the steel production process for cooling helps reduce reliance on external power sources, improving the overall energy efficiency of the plant.
- Sustainability: By leveraging waste heat (rather than additional electricity) to generate cooling, the plant minimizes its environmental impact and operating costs, contributing to a more sustainable manufacturing process.
- Cooling Performance: The absorption chillers will provide reliable cooling for the plant, ensuring that the steel production processes operate smoothly without overheating, which is crucial in maintaining product quality and equipment longevity.
This system is crucial in optimizing energy usage in the steel manufacturing process, enhancing both the cost-effectiveness and sustainability of the project.

Project Name: MCKIP 3.5 Million Ton Steel Project
Investor: Union Steel Group (Malaysia)
Type: Integrated and Union Project
Location: Malaysia
Industry: Steel Manufacturing
Key Features of the Project:
The MCKIP steel project is a significant part of Malaysia’s industrial expansion and a major Belt and Road initiative. It will span from raw materials (minerals and other materials) to the final production of rolled steel. A key part of the project is the coking process, which will produce 1.1 million tons of coke.
The project integrates several critical facilities, including:
- Coking Process: Produces coke used for steel production.
- Thermal Element System: Includes vital facilities such as:
- LiBr absorption chiller station
- Desuperheating and pressure-reducing stations
- Boiler room for steam generation
Equipment and Systems for Cooling:
To support the coal gas purification process, which requires low-temperature water, the project employs a LiBr absorption chiller station.
- Cooling Capacity: The chiller station uses three units of steam-fired LiBr absorption chillers (model SXZ6-504), each with a cooling capacity of 5047 kW.
- Operational Mode: Two units will operate continuously, with a third unit as a backup to ensure reliability and avoid downtime.
- System Layout: The chiller station features a semi-outdoor layout, which is combined with a condensing water recycling station to optimize water usage and reduce waste.
- Auxiliary Equipment:
- Condensing water collector
- Sub-cylinder
- Sewage pump
Operational Requirements:
- Continuous Operation: The system will operate year-round, serving the cooling needs of the coal gas purification process, which is critical for maintaining process efficiency and ensuring that temperatures are controlled.
- High Stability and Quality: The system requires equipment that is durable, stable, and capable of continuous operation without frequent maintenance. This is crucial for ensuring the seamless running of the coal gas purification process, which is sensitive to temperature fluctuations.
Key Considerations:
- Steam Supply: The steam used to drive the absorption chillers is generated from the thermal facilities, which are part of the overall plant infrastructure.
- Environmental Efficiency: The cooling system utilizes waste heat from the coking process and the thermal elements, contributing to energy efficiency and sustainability in the production process.
- Water Recycling: The use of a condensing water recycling station reduces overall water consumption, making the project more environmentally friendly.
System Layout:
- Chiller Station: Semi-outdoor setup to accommodate the cooling equipment and ensure proper heat dissipation.
- Condensing Water Recycling: Integrated into the system to optimize cooling and minimize waste.
Overall Benefits:
- Reliability: With two active units and one backup, the system ensures continuous cooling even in case of maintenance or failure of one unit.
- Energy Efficiency: By using waste heat and recycling water, the system significantly lowers energy and water consumption, making the project more sustainable.
- Stability: The high-quality, stable equipment is designed to meet the demands of the steel plant's cooling needs throughout the year.
Project Significance:
- The MCKIP Steel Project will play a pivotal role in the development of Malaysia's steel production capacity, significantly contributing to the Belt and Road Initiative by enhancing industrial production.
- The integration of energy-efficient technologies like the steam-fired LiBr absorption chillers exemplifies the project’s focus on sustainability, making it a model for future industrial projects in the region.
