The drive for increased production and economy is briskly going on in the economic sectors.

Recently, the Namhung Youth Chemical Complex has held fast to it as an important way for increased production and economy to reduce production costs to make more effective use of raw and other materials and steadily increase the efficiency of production.

The complex has channelled efforts into updating technical and economic indexes to increase fertilizer production every month while saving a great deal of coal.

It has also upgraded the operating method of a gas generator to improve per-hour productivity with less raw materials and fuel.

The Pukchang Thermal Power Complex provided sci-tech guarantees for recycling fly ash, including the development of a technology for using waste oil as the raw material for flotation reagent.

The introduction of such technologies for recycling fly ash makes it possible to use the ash, which occupied a large area to impede production and environmental protection, to obtain burned coal of high utility and raw materials for producing building materials, thus getting considerable benefits while saving in no small measure the expense which had been spent on processing fly ash.

The Ryongdae Youth Coal Mine remodelled the muck-carrying system into an energy-saving one to increase the mucking capacity 2.5 times while lowering power consumption by half as compared to the previous system and the load of the system to one tenth.

The Songyo Knitwear Factory refashioned an electric boiler into an active electric boiler and introduced a distilled water returning device to save much electricity and bring about progress in raising the quality of products.

The introduction of the active electric boiler helps generate steam 20 minutes earlier than before and reduce the time of dyeing knitwear almost by half. And the introduction of the distilled water returning device makes it possible to lengthen the repair cycle of the boiler, thus saving time, manpower, electricity and water in production and improving the quality of products.

Many other factories and enterprises have systematically lowered the norms of materials consumption per unit while turning their economic foundations into labour-, energy- and land-saving and cost-effective ones.
