1. '!he ammonium sullybato plant of Aeelhi Chemical was not locattid on the Yalu
River. Nippon Chieeo Hiryo K K (4sahi's R~snt company) operated ammonium
s hate plants at Hungnam (39?51 N - 1279337'E) and Pou'gung (39?52'N =
1234'2) The capacity of the plants was 500,000 metric tons per year.
Actual production in 1941 was 445,500 metric tone.
2. Synthetic ammonia was used in the production'as' ammonium sulphate.
Ammonia was also used to produce 14,700 metric tons of nitric acid per
year, 160,000 metric tons of ammonium sulphate-dlamtGonium phosphate
(P20515.6%; N217.5%) and 14,000 metric tons of ammonium phosphate.
3. Synthetic ammonia was produced at Hungnam and Pon'gung. The former"
plant had a capacity of 150,000 metric tons per year and the latter
64,000 metric tons per year.
4. Synthetic ammonia was also produced by the Manchurian Chemical Industry
?
'
as to the date the plant was under construction.
6. The Manchurian Chemical Industry Co at Kan-ching-tzu, Manchuria, also
Nitric acid was produced at the Hungnam plant I of Nippon Chioso Explosives
Company, North Korea. The capacity was 30,625'tons per year of dilute
acid and 14,700 tons per year of Concentrated, acid.
produced nitric acid, but I do not know its capacity.
In North Korea, caustic coda and chlorine were produced at the Pon'gung
plant of Nippon Chieso Hiryo K K. This plant produced 13,739 tons of
sodium hydroxide, 1955 tons of chlorine and 5583 tons of sodium carbonate
z 19111. The plant capacity was 15,000 tons, '2680 tons, and 10,000 tons
respectively.

3-IA Manchuria, three plants produced synthetic fuels. I do not know their
capucitier'but, at bast, their production was very minor. 't'hey are: (1)
The Fu-shun (Z, 052'f - 223053'E) plant of tha Manchu Yuka (Manchurian .
Oil Inuuetry Conpara-) K K, which utilized the hydrogenati.on of coal; (2)
Manahu Gcaei Wam'yo (Manchurian Synthetic Fuel) K K, which utilized the
Fischer proceas,'and (3) Chi-lin (Kirin.; (43051'N - 1260331E) plant of
J'itzo Sekiya (Synthetic Oil) K K, which utilized the hydrogenation of
coal.
34. I am not aware of any synthetic fuel plants in North China. Therefore,
posaibly there are none.
