MSTU students proposed solutions to combat oil spills

In MGTU named after G.I. Nosov The qualifying stage of the Student League of the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship was held with the support of the presidential platform "Russia – the land of Opportunities".

"This year we have combined all areas into one powerful one — Project Engineering. And all the teams, in fact, will solve one global task. Therefore, I believe that all participants are already winners, because every decision is worthy of attention. I congratulate all of you on taking part here today," greeted the rector of the University Dmitry Terentyev.

The theme of the championship is "Technological innovations". The youth teams worked in the field of "Project Engineering": they needed to develop mobile, quick-deployable complexes for oil spill response. The students spent 7 days developing a solution to the problem.

So, according to the results of the defense, the Iron Gyrus team became the winner. Students of the Institute of Metallurgy, Mechanical Engineering and Materials Processing have developed a robotic complex for the delivery of super-sorbents under an oil slick, where the area of contact with oil is highest.

Now the winners of the qualifying stage will represent the Chelyabinsk region in the semi-finals. The final of the CASE-IN championship will be held in Moscow at the end of May 2025.

The organizers of the CASE-IN championship are the Reliable Change Foundation, the Non-profit Partnership Youth Forum of Mining Leaders, AstraLogica LLC and the presidential platform Russia — the Land of Opportunities. The project is included in the "Science to Win" initiative of the plan for the Decade of Science and Technology in Russia.
