Very little is publicly known of the Chemical Industry and Petroleum Refinery factories "now producing on full-scale, The chemical factory is said to produce daily 600 tons of ammonia sulphate and lesser amounts of nitrate of ammonia, nitric and sulphuric acids, benzol, tar, creosote, pitch and coke. Working on two 12-hour shifts, was estimated that the production of the factory for the @rst year of 900 working days from May 15, 1035 would total more than 160,000 tons of ammonia sulphate alone. Mr, Tatsuzo Miyama, chief engineer, declared ammonia imports to Japan and her jeolonies from Germany and England would be reduced from 100,000 to 200,000 tons annually by virtue of the opacity of his factory, which, he believed, would also be able to fabilize the market price for the product in the Orient.
Twenty-one engineers and techni-clans came from Germany to install the machinery. The Chemical Industry Ca. also bought a German patent for combining liquid gas with ammonia. The apparatus for mak: ing liquid gas came from the Pintsch firm of Berlin, The Linde firm of Munich supped "nitrogen separators and the Unde company Dortmund ammonia, combiners. Sul-Phurle acid is made by Cottrel machines. +Most of the other equipment One year ago when the factor started full-scale operations, it was estimated that it would require 30,000 kilowatts, a daily supply of 8,000 tons of fresh' water and 64,800 tons of salt water and 120,000 tons of coal annually.
