Overview

During the training process, students get acquainted with technologies for processing natural energy carriers, physico-chemical methods for analyzing hydrocarbon raw materials, as well as methods for cleaning gas emissions and effluents from oil refining enterprises. They gain the ability to organize independent and collective research work, develop plans and programs for scientific research and technical development, and develop tasks for performers. Students learn how to use modern instruments and techniques, organize experiments and tests, conduct their processing and analyze their results. They gain the ability to find optimal solutions when creating products, taking into account the requirements of quality, reliability and cost, as well as deadlines, life safety and environmental cleanliness. They also learn how to carry out technological and technical calculations for projects, feasibility and functional-cost analysis of project effectiveness. Our graduates familiarize with building and using mathematical models to describe and predict various phenomena, to carry out their qualitative and quantitative analysis, and to use application packages when performing design work.
