Notable successes have been made to contribute to establishing the Juche-based iron production system in the leading iron producers in the metallurgical industry sector.

Juche-based iron is produced by an iron-making method that suits the actual condition of the country without relying on the fuel of other countries.

After finishing the construction of energy-saving oxygen blast furnace in a short time, the Hwanghae Iron and Steel Complex earnestly pushes ahead with the preparations for its total test run. A project for installing a 15 000 cubic metres per hour oxygen plant is also being stepped up.

The Ministry of Metallurgical Industry and the complex organized a project commanding team with competent technicians, held dozens of on-site consultative meetings on the design and construction, installation and assembly of steel structures and test run of each system, and solved problems arising in the construction of energy-saving oxygen blast furnace and the installation project of oxygen plant.

The construction of a vertical oxidizing roasting pellet furnace has entered a final stage at the Posan Iron Works.

The iron works finished the construction of several production buildings including the comprehensive control room in a few months after the start of the construction and wound up the construction of vertical oxidizing roasting pellet furnace in the main by pushing the making and assembly of diverse steel structures and equipment and devices, before entering a no-load trial run of each system in succession.

While sharing the past construction experience and techniques, the Chongjin Metal Construction Complex built a furnace body in a short time by introducing rational assembly methods. Technicians of the Metal Construction Company carried out the assembly of dust collection facilities and conveyor belts and installation of a huge pipeline network.
