The CASE-IN Championship is an international competition system for solving engineering cases among schoolchildren, students and young professionals. The purpose of the championship is to popularize engineering and technical education and attract the most promising young specialists in the field of fuel and energy, petrochemical and mineral resource complexes.

This year, 52 universities in six industry areas are participating in the CASE-IN championship. The championship is held in the format of a team competition for solving engineering cases dedicated to real production problems and events developed based on partner materials. The regional stage in Ufa consisted of two sections - "Petrochemistry" and "Oil and Gas business", 17 teams, more than 60 UGNTU students took part in the selection.

In the direction of Petrochemistry, eight teams spent 10 days solving a practical case for the production of ZapSibNeftekhim, which SIBUR is currently building in Tobolsk. The students analyzed the work of the central gas fractionation unit, the production and processing of a wide fraction of light hydrocarbons, pyrolysis of hydrocarbon raw materials, and the production of polyethylene and polypropylene. We looked for ways to improve the energy efficiency and reliability of installations, modeled the possibility of increasing the inter-repair mileage of equipment, and prepared an economic justification for the proposed measures.

The solutions were presented by the students at the defense, which was evaluated by experts from SIBUR and UGNTU. The victory in the direction of "Petrochemistry" was won by the Gamarjoba team: Ksenia Solovyova, Giorgi Gamisonia, Lev Igumenov and Burangulov Daniyar. The students will go to the finals of the Student League CASE-IN, which will be held on May 30-31, 2018 in Moscow.

During the qualifying stages of the Championship, more than 4,000 students from 52 universities compete in six industry areas: geological exploration, mining, metallurgy, oil and gas, petrochemistry, and electric power industry. Competitions in the field of Petrochemistry, supported by SIBUR, are included in the Championship program for the first time and are held in 10 universities in Russia.
