My specialty

Our University trains specialists for oil and gas industry. As we know oil and gas play a very important role in the development of industry and our everyday life. They are used both as fuel and as raw materials for chemical industry. Metallurgy, machine building, chemical, industry, power engineering, transport and other branches can not do without oil and

I will be a mechanical engineer (an oil and gas processing engineer). I think I will work at a refinery or at a research institute. A refinery is a petroleum processing plant. It consists of 1) stills (перегонный куб) in which oil is distilled; 2) condensers (coolers) to cool the product after it comes off the stills; 3) agitators (мешалки) for the treatment(обработка) of the condensed products to remove bad odours (запахи) and impurities; 4) filters are used to filter oil ; 5) tanks - to store the final products after treatment in the agitators.

The process of oil refinery is based on the fact that different oil runnings (фракции) have different boiling points . Crude oil is run (поступает) into the still, heated and vaporized.

After graduation from the university our task will be to design new equipment for refineries, improve the existing equipment or maintain it.
