　　“Manufacturing industry is the majority of the real economy and the main area for technological innovation,” said Miao Yu, minister of Industry and Information Technology. “China will accelerate its steps to develop into a strong manufacturer, shifting from quantity-centered to quality-centered.”

　　Jereh’s Apollo turbine fracturing pumper features with big power, small size and long operating time. It can double the efficiency of shale gas extraction compared to regular equipment. And it is significant that its appearance makes China the third country that has turbine fracturing pumper after the United States and Russia.
