ONHP completed Science & Engineering Technology Conference of Young Professionals
About hundred scientific reports dedicated to energy efficiency, ecological safety, increased efficiency of units and systems operation at petrochemical complex, optimization of processes as well as a range of other up-to-date issues were dwelled upon at VI Interregional Science & Engineering Technology Conference of Young Professionals held from October 31 to November 07, 2015 in PAO OMSKNEFTEKHIMPROEKT (ONHP). Representatives from Tomsk, St. Petersburg, Angarsk as well as Tatarstan and Kazakhstan (Atyrau and Pavlodar) participated in the event in addition to young engineers, high school and university students.
It is the sixth year the Conference is held in ONHP. According to Denis G. BICHEV, Cat. II Engineer of Pipelines Calculation Group PAO "OMSKNEFTEKHIMPROEKT," it was supposed to be an event where company’s young professionals can demonstrate their skills, get professional assessment of more experienced colleagues. Gradually, this purely in-house initiative has spread over the walls of ONHP and has become interregional. In the past two years, interest to this event was demonstrated by not only engineers but also Kazakhstan universities and companies students.
The Conference consisted of two parts. On the first day scientific works were demonstrated by young engineers, while on the second day by high school and university students. Report topics were quite diverse. According to experts among which were leading ONHP engineers, representatives of scientific societies, leading petrochemical companies of the country, most of the reports had an applied nature. Conference was organized by sections. In the final three winners for each section were determined. In addition, experts had a right to choose their own nomination.
As highlighted by Mr. Igor M. ZUGA, Member of Expert Council on the Arctic and Antarctic Region at the Council of Federation, conference level and quality of theses is growing year by year. He proposed to moderators to increase the status of the event considering that it has already become global.
