SiburTyumenGaz and Zapsibtransgaz employees opened the SIBUR Young Specialists Forum

Nizhnevartovsk received the right to open the SIBUR Young Professionals Forum: in the first regional stage of the project, 10 youth teams of SiburTyumenGaz JSC and Zapsibtransgaz LLC met.

In his welcoming speech, Alexey Petrusha, Director of the Belozerny Gas Processing Plant, noted that the best projects of the contestants will be implemented at gas processing plants. Thus, young specialists will be able to contribute to the development of the company.

More than 40 young employees of enterprises, under the guidance of experienced mentors, presented projects on sustainable development, risk management, efficiency, digitalization of production and other relevant topics for the domestic industry.

The results of the work of the young specialists were evaluated by an expert commission, which included the heads of SIBUR enterprises.

The winner of the regional stage and the winner of the ticket to the finals was the SiburTyumenGaz team - Ravil Khusainov (captain), Arkady Vakhnenko, Maxim Derevnin and Aigul Galimzyanova.

In their project, the young people tried to solve the problem of releasing useful thermal energy into the atmosphere. To do this, the guys suggested that the N-106 furnace, which burns a significant amount of fuel gas, should be excluded from the technological chain at the Belozernoye Gas Processing Plant.

"In order to eliminate the furnace without compromising production, we will use the thermal energy of flue gases from the N-101 furnace as a coolant for heating diethylene glycol (DEG) in the heat exchanger, without changing the parameters of the technological regime., – the representatives of the team explain. –  The installation of our proposed heat exchanger completely replaces the N-106 process furnace, which allows us to reduce fuel gas consumption. We propose to implement the project in those industries where there are high-temperature flue gases, as well as heated matter."

The champions are confident that the implementation of their project in real production will optimize energy consumption, increase production reliability, have a positive economic effect and reduce emissions into the atmosphere.

The second place was taken by Zapsibtransgaz employees Oleg Zaripov (captain), Roman Aralov, Murzabek Atalikov and Azamat Kunafin, united in the Pipe Age team.

The 250% youth team rounded out the top three: it included SiburTyumenGaz employees Nikolai Barsukov (captain), Stepan Belokrylov, Denis Nikitin, Nikita Puzanov, and Shakhrom Juraev.

The presentation of their developments is not the only thing that the participants of the first regional stage will remember. SIBUR Board members Igor Klimov and Oleg Makarov answered questions from young professionals via video link about promising formats for working with young people, discussed the sought-after specialties of the future, and shared their own secrets of preparing for public speaking and ways to deal with stress.

Thus, the first team of the next test of the Forum of Young Professionals, which will be held in the Moscow region, became known. Later, it will be joined by the winning teams of 11 regional stages.

New opportunities for career and personal growth await the champions and prize-winners of the season.
