Among scientists and technicians who support the regional development policy of the Workers’ Party of Korea with practical scientific research achievements, there is Pak Sin Chol, a researcher of the foodstuff application technology research institute of Pyongyang Han Tok Su University of Light Industry. He established a new refined oil production process of a Korean style to enable newly-built regional foodstuff factories to turn out quality oil.

After finishing the then Pyongyang Senior Middle School No. 1, he enrolled in the food technology faculty of Pyongyang Han Tok Su University of Light Industry, took a postgraduate course of the university and has been working as a researcher of the foodstuff application technology research institute. He presented many valuable scientific research findings in the past.

In February last year, he was appointed as head of a project for the designing of oil production process to be installed in regional-industry factories.

Until then, he had achieved successes in research for developing oil refining technology to meet the actual situation of the country including a study of a new method of refining cottonseed oil and the development of frying oil additive. But it was the first time for him to design a general production process for the complete refining of oil.

He, together with research team members, intensified research for designing scientific and practicable refined oil production process that conforms to the actual situations of cities and counties with different geographical environments and economic potentials. He established a new oil refining method in the course of finding out a plan for production process while making an analysis of massive technical data on complete refining of oil and intensifying study and experiments. And then he completed in a Korean way the designs of a dozen pieces of equipment including decolouring and deodorizing tanks and filter and the design of refined oil production process.

He visited foodstuff factories in 20 cities and counties and solved technical problems which affect the performance of equipment and the quality indexes of oil in cooperation with relevant units, thus completing the process for producing refined oil which is up to the national standards, including taste, smell and clearness.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un, who attended the inauguration ceremony of regional-industry factory in Jaeryong County last January, entered the oil production room of the foodstuff factory, examined the colour and smell of the oil produced on a trial basis and said the oil was refined well. He attentively listened to the research work conducted by Pak Sin Chol and was very satisfied to ensure that his feats were widely known throughout the country.
