Students from Tyumen have modernized the industry

The International Engineering CASE-IN Championship is an international competition system for solving engineering cases among students, schoolchildren and young professionals. The purpose of the championship is to popularize engineering and technical education and attract the most promising young specialists to the fuel and energy and mineral resource complexes.

The championship is held in 57 universities in Russia and the CIS countries. During the qualifying stages in February – May 2020, more than 10,000 future and young engineers of the fuel and energy and mineral resources complexes solve engineering cases on the unified theme of the Championship "Technological Modernization" - one of the priority topics for the Russian and global economies.

The CASE-IN championship competitions were promptly transferred to a remote format due to anti–epidemic measures in the regions of Russia: student teams presented their solutions online, and experts – representatives of industry companies - also evaluated the students' ideas online and selected the best teams.

The experts were professors of TIU, as well as representatives of Gazprom Nedra LLC, Gazprom Pererabotka LLC, Schlumberger, PJSC NOVATEK, TNSC LLC, SIBUR Tobolsk LLC, Division-Management of Development Projects of the PIR branch of KogalymNIPIneft LLC, Federal Grid Company of the Unified Energy System — Southern Enterprise of Main Electric Networks, JSC SUENCO, JSC Rosseti Tyumen Tyumen Electric Networks.

The students worked out their ideas in just 10 days.

Future oilmen We have developed solutions to the problem of production and transportation of liquefied natural gas and the development of the production of synthetic liquid and solid products from natural gas. The case was developed based on the materials of PJSC NOVATEK.

The winner of the stage was the Kill Fluid team. Vyacheslav Popov, Nikita Portnyagin, Andrey Laponin and Daria Tseneva assessed the problems of production and transportation of liquefied natural gas, offering their own version of the development of the Utrennoye field in the north of Yamal.

"I think we won over the jury with the scale, quality of comprehensive study and design of the presentation. There are no secrets to achieving victory, the more you do this, the more you will discover various aspects of the solution that will later bring victory.", " He told me Vyacheslav Popov.

The team of Tyumen State University "True sight" also qualified for the finals: Vyacheslav Kadulin (team captain), Andrey Anisimov, Marko Vuchkovich and Alexander Yulin.

Setting the case for petrochemical students − to give a second life to plastics: the participants of the championship presented projects for the technological modernization of the enterprise, providing for the creation of a site for the collection and preparation of used PET packaging and the uninterrupted supply of secondary polymers as raw materials. The case for future specialists in the petrochemical industry was developed based on materials from SIBUR, a strategic partner of the Petrochemistry division of the CASE-IN championship.

In the first place is the Nezprost team: Alexey Kabanov (team captain), Andrey Shabarchin, Ekaterina Bichevina and Georgy Klevtsov. 

"The most difficult thing was to develop a technology suitable for implementation at an existing enterprise, but we successfully coped. A complex chemolysis project has been proposed that makes it possible to recycle PET bottles and obtain raw materials., — comments on Alexey Kabanov. – Our decision hooked the jury by the fact that we integrated our project into the current production and were able to describe it competently. We developed the solution together with all the team members back in Tyumen, and prepared for the defense remotely. This format is interesting and modern, so nothing prevented us from winning."

Energy Engineering Students They presented ideas for the development of the UES of Russia and the energy systems of the CIS and Baltic energy union member countries. The case was developed based on the materials of JSC SO UES, a strategic partner of the Electric Power Industry.

The "Idle Circuit" team became the finalist of the direction. This team was formed in 2018, at the same time, for the first time, the guys won the qualifying stage and took third place in the championship final. In 2019, we won the spring qualifying round again, and in the same year we were able to get to the finals of the Autumn CASE-IN Cup. The team's composition has changed several times, with captain Andrey Logunov remaining permanent. It also includes Vladislav Rokhlov, Alexey Chertkov and Margarita Novoselova.

According to the captain of the team, the assignment covered a wide range of issues, so it was difficult to decide in which direction to work.

"We have proposed solutions for the development of the Kaliningrad Region's energy system and cooperation with the Baltic States, considered several scenarios for the development of the situation, taking into account political and economic factors, and proposed the best option with the possibility of using the potential of innovative technologies. Perhaps it was the focus on a particular area that influenced the jury's decision.", — shared Andrey Logunov.

The final of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" will traditionally be held in Moscow and will bring together the best student engineering teams from 57 universities in Russia and the CIS countries.

And the winners of the championship finals will receive valuable prizes, the opportunity to participate in the All-Russian industry summer forums, advantages in admission to graduate and postgraduate studies, and will also be able to complete internships at leading companies in the industry.
