The CASE-IN champions from Irkutsk are preparing for an internship at YATEK

The team of the IRNTU "Lagrange's Theorem" became the leader of the X International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" in the field of "Oil and gas business". The winning team included students Evgeny Rudykh, Viktor Kovrizhnykh, Mikhail Semykin and Sergey Kobylinsky. The final of the tournament was held in Moscow on May 25-27.

It should be noted that "CASE-IN" is included in the presidential platform "Russia – the land of opportunities". This year, 134 teams from 108 universities of Russia, the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Republic of Belarus met in the Student League of the championship. The contestants presented case solutions on the topic "Industry 4.0".

The partners of the jubilee project were large companies of the country, including JSC SO UES, JSC ALROSA, PJSC YATEK, NIPIGAZ, JSC Gazstroyprom, PJSC SIBUR Holding, RUSAL, Micromine, IMC Montan, etc.

Polytechnic students from the Lagrange's Theorem team study at the Department of Oil and Gas Engineering at the Institute of Subsoil Use. They were solving the case of PJSC Yakutsk Fuel and Energy Company. Students were asked to choose an efficient technology for the production of ammonia from natural gas, as well as to develop a method for the disposal of carbon dioxide.

The experts of the competition highly appreciated the decision of the polytechnicians related to the monetization of natural gas, involving the creation of a gas chemical cluster for the production of ammonia, methanol, carbamide and bioprotein. All technologies are based on the use of domestic equipment, which solves the problem of import substitution.

According to the captain of the team, fourth-year student Evgeny Rudykh, Lagrange's Theorem is participating in the CASE-IN for the fourth time.:  "At first, we were motivated by getting a "machine gun" in a specialized discipline. However, every year the championship became an integral part of our student life. The CASE-IN is a grandiose event, which is very honorable to win. Last year we won the third place. Soon we will have to go on an internship at PJSC YATEK, which is the largest gas production and fuel company located in Yakutia."

The leaders of the tournament were presented with valuable gifts from the organizers of the "CASE-IN". Winning the championship gives you the opportunity to enroll in master's and postgraduate studies at partner universities on preferential terms. In addition, the winners can visit one of the regions of Russia as part of the "More than a Trip" project.

Five more teams from Irkutsk Polytechnic University became finalists. The participants of "Euthetics" competed in the direction of "Geological exploration". The Energy and Star Volts teams solved the case in the interests of the energy company. Tech-Novatika competed in project engineering. The silver medalists of the IX championship from the Noble minerals team demonstrated their mining skills this year.

Interesting events were planned as part of the final. The Polytechnic students attended a Career Day organized by leading fuel and energy companies, master classes and trainings.

The anniversary championship was traditionally attended by Konstantin Suslov, Head of the Department of Power Supply and Electrical Engineering at IRNTU. He acted as an expert in the Special League of PJSC "T Plus".

"Our students fought with dignity against the strongest rivals. Future power engineers solved a case from JSC Federal Grid Company of the Unified Energy System. The Energy team managed to enter the top six. This is a great result.", - Konstantin Suslov emphasized.
