technologies of smelting cast iron and steel, in automotive domain and in the
sphere of applying advanced compressors. Respective projects were represented

saving technologies in metallurgical industry. In particular, they drew
attention to significant economy of electric power in the process of steel
production with the use of represented energy saving solution in smelting cast

will be rather efficient and profitable for Ukraine.
On
presenting the projects for application of up-to-date compressors the members
of Mitsubishi corporation characterized them as highly
reliable and energy-saving. As they put it, these compressors comply with all
the standards of ecological compatibility and safety and are supplied for the
pipelines to the CIS states. Besides, these technologies can be applied in
