Samara Polytechnic University students became silver medalists of the CASE-IN championship

The final of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" has ended in Moscow. This year, the participants were united by the theme "Technological Leadership". The honor of Samara Polytechnic University was defended by three teams in the final. The Power of Thought team of the Institute of Oil and Gas Technologies became the silver medalist of the championship.

The team consists of Tatiana Ivanova, Vyacheslav Samoilov, Galina Shkatko and Gore Shushanyan. Solving an engineering case in the field of "Oil and Gas business", the guys created a technology for processing and using liquefied petroleum gas, taking into account its logistical and market characteristics.

"Due to the changing market conditions, oil and gas companies have a problem – a decrease in demand for liquefied petroleum gases (LPG), which arise as a result of processing associated petroleum gas. Our team proposed to send ethane and propane-butane fractions to a gas chemical complex with the formation of a wide range of polymers. The methane that would be formed after the pyrolysis furnace was planned to be used for the production of bioprotein.", – said Gore Shushanyan.

The experts highly appreciated the originality of the solution proposed to the Polytechnic students, as well as the performance of the students and the quality of their presentation. In addition to the silver medal, the team was awarded a special "Breakthrough Solution" prize.

In the field of Electric Power Engineering, the university was represented by two teams at once. The Energy style team brought together students of the Electrical Engineering Faculty Michael and Alexandra Salchikhinykh, Anton Pivkin and Denis Tuev. They took the sixth place and won the competition for the most creative video game. And the ELECTRO team included students from the Novokuibyshevsky branch. Roman Korytnikov, Andrey Dedulin and Pavel Markov. Although the guys turned out to be one of the youngest participants, they performed well and entered the top ten of the championship.

By the way, Polytech has received several more awards from the championship. Thus, the university became the winner of the Energy of Education award for the best organization of the qualifying stage of the competition on its site. At the Polytechnic, this process is supervised by the head of the Scholarship Programs Sector at the CIPI. Julia Yakimova.

In addition, several Polytechnic students have been inducted into the CASE-IN Hall of Fame. They have made a significant contribution to the work of the championship during the "Technological Leadership" season. Yulia Yakimova was awarded a high honor in the "Organizer" category, and Associate Professor of the Oil and Gas Well Drilling Department was awarded in the "Mentor" category Olesya Tomazova Gor Shushanyan, a master's student at the Institute of Oil and Gas Technologies, is in the "Participant" category, and SO UES branch manager is in the "Expert" category ODU of the East, graduate of the Electrotechnical Faculty of the Polytechnic University Mikhail Kritsky.
