The first prize of the competition was also won by a team of authors from YANOS, who developed and improved a unique scheme for the production of winter diesel fuel.

The international competition of scientific, scientific- technical and innovative developments aimed at the development of the fuel and energy and extractive industries is held under the auspices of the Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation.

This year, 198 works from 86 enterprises (organizations) related to the oil and gas industry, coal and peat industries, electric power, renewable energy, pipeline transport, nuclear energy and the mining industry were submitted for the competition.

To participate in the competition, PJSC "Slavneft-YANOS" presented the work "Increasing the production of winter diesel fuel by the direction of ballast fractions in addition to dewaxing". The authors of the development were the leading specialists of the enterprise, the work received a high expert assessment and was previously patented in the territory of the Russian Federation.

Due to climatic conditions, the production of winter diesel fuel (DTZ) in Russia is one of the priority tasks. The development of the Arctic and the development of navigation along the Northern Sea Route have necessitated an increase in the production of DTZ at the present time.

Common methods for the release of diesel fuel are the involvement of jet fuel in its production or dewaxing of summer diesel fuel to lower the application temperature.

PJSC “Slavneft-YANOS”, when introducing dewaxing technology in 2014, developed and applied its own DTZ production scheme. A feature of the technology introduced at YANOS is the separation of diesel fuel into fractions, which allows, during primary processing, to separate part of the fuel that already possesses the temperature characteristics required for DTZ (ballast fractions), and send only the part of the original product that needs it for subsequent dewaxing.

The proposed production scheme made it possible to increase the production of DTZ at the expense of the existing capacities, reduce the volume of resources used, and significantly reduce current and capital costs.

The uniqueness of the project was also in the optimal integration of the new process into the existing scheme of diesel fuel production at YANOS with minimum costs and maximum use of the available equipment.

In 2017-2019 a set of measures was implemented to improve this technology in order to further increase the production of diesel fuel.

Thanks to the introduction of its own developments, PJSC "Slavneft-YANOS" currently occupies a leading position in the production of winter diesel fuel in Russia, increasing its yield by 2.4 times.
“Receiving an award from the Ministry of Energy is the result of the efficient work of all departments of the enterprise and the creative approach of the engineers of the research laboratory to their work,” said Nikolay Karpov, General Director of PJSC “Slavneft-YANOS”. - Our colleagues from Tatarstan are already interested in this production scheme and are working on the issue of the possibility of its application at the enterprises of the republic.
