118 students of Amur State University at the qualifying stage of the CASE-IN championship presented their projects to solve industry problems in three areas: Petrochemistry, Electric Power Industry and Geological Exploration.

The participants of the Petrochemistry direction received a case from SIBUR dedicated to Kazanorgsintez PJSC. It is the only manufacturer of polycarbonate in Russia, it is produced at the enterprise by the phosgene-free method. The students had to offer a comprehensive solution to eliminate the facts of preparing the initial mixture without adding the necessary catalyst, eliminate technical and economic barriers in production activities and increase the efficiency of polycarbonate production.

The expert commission was headed by Alexander Bessonov, manager of the Amur Gas Processing Plant. The students were able to impress industry representatives with their unusual ideas and solutions.

According to the results of the qualifying stage, three teams from Amur State University became semi-finalists of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN".
