SIBUR-Kstovo's young specialists continue to compete for the main prizes of the season

The "Challenge accepted" command  SIBUR, the Kstovsky enterprise, became the winner of the qualifying stage in the League of Young Specialists of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" in the Volga Federal District. Now she has to take part in the final of the championship in Moscow.

The team consists of four young specialists of the enterprise: captain Denis Shiryaev, Andrey Tyulin, Lyubava Bukhtoyarova and Alexander Khvalin. Mentor is Gennady Grishin, Head of the SIBUR-Kstovo Fixed Assets Management Service.

The team's rivals were teams from Gazprom, Rosneft, Lukoil, Rosseti and SIBUR. The Kstovsky plant team solved the case "Flexible systems and solutions on the eve of the Fourth Industrial Revolution" and defended their project, receiving the highest number of points. In 10 days, the team members have developed a comprehensive solution for sorting, recycling and recycling of waste using artificial intelligence. 

The project consists of four stages: waste sorting using artificial intelligence; processing of non-sorted waste using plasma pyrolysis technology; involvement in the recycling of plastic, glass, metal, rubber; development of new solutions and formulations taking into account the requirements for processing raw materials, creation of technologies for import substitution. 

The use of infrared sensors, video analysis, neural network and machine vision will make it possible to efficiently sort 80% of garbage, obtaining 10 types of waste, 7 fractions of plastic, 3 fractions of glass, 5 types of metal. Plasma pyrolysis of the remaining 20% of the volume of unsorted garbage neutralizes waste without producing aggressive and dangerous substances. In this case, all previously sorted resources will be redirected for reuse. The team members developed a roadmap, analyzed the economic indicators and risks of the project. 

The solutions were evaluated by an expert commission consisting of representatives of public and scientific organizations, university professors, as well as employees of leading industry companies.

"The qualifying stage, in which we won, was held in a remote format among 14 teams of young specialists under the age of 35, representing enterprises, organizations, scientific associations of the Volga Federal District. We have chosen an up-to-date topic related to the ESG agenda, successfully selected technical solutions that are under development from a number of Nizhny Novgorod startups, and demonstrated the necessary expertise in the field of economics, ecology, and digital technologies.", - said the captain of the team Denis Shiryaev. 

In the final, the team from Kstovo will compete for the first place with the winners and prize-winners of other qualifying stages.
