Samara Polytechnic University student team became a finalist of the CASE-IN championship

The semi-final of the XI International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" in the field of "Oil and gas business" was held online. Samara Polytechnic University was successfully represented at the competition by the Power of Thought team consisting of students from the Institute of Oil and Gas Technologies Tatiana Ivanova (captain), Vyacheslav Samoilov and Mount Shushanyan.

A total of seven teams took part in the semi-finals. Polytechnic students competed for victory with teams from Almetyevsk State Petroleum Institute, Tyumen Industrial University, Tyumen State University, Gubkin Russian State University of Oil and Gas, St. Petersburg State University of Economics and the Russian State Geological Exploration University. Sergo Ordzhonikidze.

The contestants had to develop a technology for processing and using liquefied petroleum gas, taking into account its logistical and market characteristics. For example, the Power of Thought has proposed a comprehensive solution for processing the ethane-propane-butane fraction to form a wide range of polymers. This will increase the added value of the final product and increase the profitability of processing associated petroleum gas.

The expert commission highly appreciated the ideas of the Polytechnic students. As a result, the university team confidently took the first place, significantly ahead of competitors in terms of points scored.

"I've been participating in the CASE-IN championship since my freshman year. During this time, he has already become a finalist three times as a member of different teams. But there was no way to win a prize. This year we are focused only on winning! We will direct all our efforts to bring gold medals and a cup for the first place to our native university," notes Gore Shushanyan.

Now the students will have to defend the honor of the Polytechnic University in the final competitions. They will be held in Moscow at the end of May and will bring together the strongest youth engineering teams from Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus. The winners of the championship finals will receive valuable prizes, the opportunity to participate in the All-Russian industry summer forums, advantages in admission to graduate and postgraduate studies, and will also be able to complete internships in leading companies in the industry.

The CASE-IN project is being implemented using a grant from the President of the Russian Federation for the development of civil society, within the framework of the federal project "Social Elevators for Everyone" of the national project "Education".
