St. Petersburg Mining University teams – winners and prize-winners of the CASE-IN championship

In the final of the IX International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN", which was held in Moscow and was dedicated to the theme "Sustainable development", the team of the OGteam Mining University took first place in the field of "Oil and gas business".

The tournament brought together 517 future engineers and 100 young specialists from the energy and raw materials industries from 40 regions of Russia. A total of 32 students from the Mining University participated in the competition as part of 8 national teams.

The following teams from other university teams won the championship: "Generation 4:0" and "Supplier supplies goods" (2nd and 3rd places, Digital Atom), "WeWatt" (2nd place, Electric Power Industry) and "Kimberlite" (3rd location, direction "Mining").

"The task of the case was to think over a system for the useful use of flue gases that thermal power plants emit into the atmosphere, including carbon dioxide. Pumping this gas into the reservoir was part of our scenario. We also proposed an original project of methanogenesis, which consists in the synthesis of biomethane from hydrogen and carbon dioxide. I believe that these creative ideas led us to victory in the end. Perhaps the final of this year's championship has become one of our main achievements!", - Boris Seregin, captain of the OGteam team (Oil and Gas Business, 1st place), shared his impressions.

The task of the Kimberlite team was devoted to optimizing the ventilation system of the ALROSA mine, said its participant Ildar Fazylov (3rd place in the Mining field). The participants emphasized the involvement of partner companies in conducting the case.

"In two months of work, we were able to prepare and present a working prototype of a system for remote adaptation of a new employee at one of Rosatom's enterprises. Our team has previously become winners and prize-winners of case championships, but this is the first time we participated in the "CASE-IN". We intend to take part in it again next year and are determined to bring victory!", - Antonina Stoyanova, captain of the Generation 4.0 team (Digital Atom, 2nd place), said.

In the future, the winners and prize-winners of the championship will have the opportunity to complete internships in leading domestic companies and receive benefits when applying to graduate or postgraduate studies at one of the partner universities of the competition. The organizers also noted the researchers of the Mining University: Director of the Educational and Scientific Center for Digital Technologies Yuri Zhukovsky and graduate student Alexandra Buldysko, who acted as mentors to two university teams. They are included in the Hall of Fame of the "CASE-IN" championship.
