A critical production problem is to ensure reliable ignition of burner devices of complex process equipment, for example, an autothermal reforming reactor, during its start-up. Unsuccessful ignition can lead to the formation of explosive concentrations of a flammable mixture in subsequent elements of the process chain. This, in turn, can provoke uncontrolled exothermic reactions and, as a consequence, emergency situations with potential damage to equipment and personnel. The developed product provides a radical solution to the problem, guaranteeing stable and reliable ignition, – said the responsible executor of the development, an expert of the Scientific and Educational Center "Digital Engineering of the Main Equipment of Chemical-Engineering Systems" of the St. Petersburg Polytechnical School Yuri Aristovich.

The ignition device is a structurally and functionally unified device – a complex technical system in which all components are interconnected and jointly implement the function of igniting the combustible mixture. The device contains a housing, an oxidizer supply pipe and a combustible gas supply pipe, a spark plug, valves of the oxidizer supply pipe and the combustible gas supply pipe, an outlet pipe. The housing contains a cylindrical mixing chamber, the inputs of the oxidizer supply pipe and the combustible gas supply pipe are located in the part of the mixing chamber that is most distant from the outlet pipe.

The oxidizer feed pipe is connected to the housing so as to feed the oxidizer in the tangential direction, and the combustible gas feed pipe is connected so as to feed the combustible gas in the radial direction. The inlet openings of the pipes in the housing are made so as to ensure critical gas outflow. The dimensions of the inlet openings are reasonably selected so that when the back pressure changes, the flow rates of the combustible gas and oxidizer change proportionally, the diameter of the outlet pipe is from 10 to 50% of the diameter of the mixing chamber. The technical result is an increase in the reliability of the device.

The ignition device is designed to operate in a short-pulse mode. This ensures reliable ignition at low thermal loads in a wide range of pressures (from 1 to several tens of atmospheres). The device forms and directs small volumes of flame – fire ellipses of a certain size and at a given speed. Ignition charges ensure reliable ignition of the main burner, minimizing the thermal load on the outflow zone and the ignition device body, which significantly simplifies the reactor design and its startup procedure.

The task of developing an igniter within the established deadlines seemed extremely difficult. Initially, it was assumed that the system would be implemented with a developed cooling infrastructure and multi-component thermal protection, which is due to the extremely high operating temperatures that significantly exceed the parameters of standard devices. The specifics of the reactor excluded the possibility of using serial solutions. Alternative options were considered, including the use of pyrotechnic cartridges, but this approach was recognized as suboptimal in terms of manufacturability and operational safety. As a result, an original, reliable and safe igniter was created that meets all the requirements. The developed device demonstrates high potential for use not only within the framework of this project, but also in other industries that require reliable systems for initiating processes in high temperatures and aggressive environments, added Nikolay Vasiliev, Chief Designer for Remotely Controlled and Transport and Technological Equipment at JSC TsKBM.

Chief designer for the key scientific and technological development area of SPbPU "Systemic Digital Engineering", director of the Advanced Engineering School of SPbPU "Digital Engineering" Alexey Borovkov spoke about the key success factor: "At the beginning of the work, none of the authors of the development could foresee the final result of creating a science-intensive and high-tech product. By combining the knowledge, experience and competencies of scientists, engineers and designers from various fields of knowledge and industries, we managed to form a unique multidisciplinary team and obtain impressive results. Of course, this is a logical result of the application of systemic digital engineering technologies, including the technology of developing digital twins, mathematical and computer modeling of non-stationary nonlinear physical-mechanical and physical-chemical processes of the behavior of a high-tech product.

The development of a complex technical system is based on the effective application of the created multidisciplinary digital model [ 1, 2, 3 ], which is a system of interconnected mathematical and computer models describing combustion kinetics, chemical thermodynamics of free-radical reactions, dynamics of vortex flows at supercritical parameters of substances and non-stationary nonlinear thermomechanics. Numerous digital (virtual) tests and the necessary full-scale tests made it possible to carry out verification [ 1, 2 ] and validation [1, 2] developed models, to raise the level adequacy of models and descriptions of complex processes confirmed the efficiency and reliability of the developed high-tech product.

With the help of approaches, technologies and methods of system digital engineering, the formed innovative scientific and technical groundwork and on the basis of the digital platform for the development and application of digital twins CML-Bench® [ 1, 2 ] our team implemented all stages of creating a finished industrial product in record time: development and design took only 2 months, manufacturing and testing – 3 months. It is fundamentally important to note that traditional approaches are not capable of ensuring such a high speed of implementation of science-intensive and high-tech projects for the development of complex technical systems."

In conclusion, we note that the results of the development of the ignition device have made a significant contribution to the formation of a scientific and technological reserve for the creation digital (virtual) testing ground for burner devices. The development of a digital test site is one of the most important final goals of a large-scale project to develop new generation burner devices for pyrolysis furnaces, implemented within the framework of the key scientific and technological direction (KNTD-1) of the development of SPbPU "Systemic Digital Engineering" within the framework of the "Priority-2030" program.

The project within the framework of KNTN-1 provides for the definition of approaches to mathematical and computer modeling of new burner devices, development matrices requirements, target indicators and resource constraints, creation of a series of computer models of the prototype (primary, refined, detailed, optimized), conducting full-scale tests of a pilot industrial model of a burner device for validations computer model, development of design documentation and implementation into production.

Let us recall that in June 2025, specialists from the Scientific and Educational Center “Digital Engineering of the Main Equipment of Chemical-Engineering Systems” of the SPbPU PISh presented This project and the Center’s expertise in developing burner devices at the Gazprom Neft site, one of the leaders in the oil and gas industry and petrochemical industry in Russia.

Methodological support and the process of registering the right to the intellectual property object of the igniter were provided by Center for Transfer and Import Substitution of Advanced Digital and Manufacturing Technologies SPbPU.

The Polytechnic student teams are back in touch. Today we will go to Crimea together with the agricultural team "Django". By the way, this is already the tenth working season for our "farmers".

The guys celebrated their anniversary at the vineyards of the Massandra company in the village of Malorechenskoye, in the southern part of the peninsula. Many nostalgic memories are associated with this place, because the team is coming here for the third time, everything here has become native and close.

At work, polytechnicians master the profession of a winegrower: they tie up vines, water and collect ripe bunches of grapes, and look after young vineyards. And in their free time, they explore the surrounding area, visit nearby cities, conquer the Crimean mountains, swim in the sea and organize unforgettable events.

"What are my feelings about the season? The most diverse! Each new day brings an unusually large number of emotions and impressions, something is constantly happening around – it overwhelms, even confuses from being unaccustomed to it," shared her impressions of her first trip, "Django" candidate Dasha Shcherbinina. "It seems that I live some new, completely unreal life. And in this life – sun, sea, mountains and endless vineyards!"

Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University recently hosted delegations from top Chinese universities: Tsinghua University (20th place in the QS ranking), Zhejiang University (49th place in QS), and Peking University (13th place in QS).

Study visits to prestigious partner universities in foreign countries are a mandatory element of the educational program at Chinese universities. That is why every summer students from China come to the Polytechnic University to develop scientific and educational cooperation and exchange best practices in working with young people.

The delegation of Tsinghua University (SPbPU's strategic partner), headed by the deputy secretary of the party committee of the university's Youth Union, Chen Zhihao, consisted of student activists (secretaries of faculty committees of the Komsomol, postgraduates and masters). The visit was organized within the framework of the elite program for training personnel reserves and future leaders of Tsinghua University, implemented under the auspices of the Communist Youth Union of China.

The introduction to the history and infrastructure of SPbPU began with a tour of the Main Academic Building (White Hall, library, portrait gallery) and the SPbPU History Museum. The key point was a visit to the Youth Trajectory Center in the Polytech Tower — a modern space for student life, project activities, and interaction with industry. At a meeting with Ivan Khlamov, Head of the SPbPU Youth Policy Department, the guests discussed options for involving young people in scientific and technical creativity, project work, developing leadership skills, and a mentoring system. Colleagues from Tsinghua presented the successful experience of their university ecosystem for supporting innovation and entrepreneurship, including the Lighthouse program, Challenge Cup and Entrepreneurship Competitions, as well as the Innovation Plus incubator, which has grown hundreds of startups with a total funding of about 5 billion rubles.

The study visit of the best students of Zhejiang University to the Polytechnic is a long-standing tradition that has been strictly observed throughout the years of strategic partnership between our universities. The envoys from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering were led by its international coordinator Qiu Yixin.

The program included an introduction to the historical heritage of the university, a visit to the modern laboratories of the Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Materials and Transport, and a working meeting with representatives of the SPbPU International Service. The students visited the innovative laboratories of IMMiT and learned about the latest developments of research groups and young scientists of the institute.

Chinese students were presented with opportunities to study at SPbPU, in particular within the framework of additional programs, summer and winter schools. The guests highly appreciated the educational potential of the Polytechnic University, including that already implemented in partnership with Chinese universities, and expressed interest in creating a joint program in the field of mechanical engineering.

In addition to students, the representative delegation from Peking University included Dean of the College of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering Peng Hailin, Dean of the Faculty of Materials Science and Engineering Zou Ruqiang, Professor of the Faculty of Physics Wang Xinqiang, and other scientists.

The visit was eventful: the guests were divided into groups according to their scientific interests to visit specialized laboratories, where they got acquainted with the advanced research of SPbPU in the field of new materials, energy and microelectronics. Of particular interest were the developments of carbon nanomaterials, artificial intelligence for chemistry and promising catalysts. The visit ended with presentations of scientific areas of both universities.

The past visits demonstrated the mutual interest of Russian and Chinese universities in deepening cooperation, the desire to organize interaction not only between leading scientists, but also among young researchers. As noted by representatives of SPbPU, such meetings help not only to exchange best practices in education and science, but also to create a solid foundation for future joint projects, student initiatives, entrepreneurship. Particular attention was paid to student mobility, academic exchange programs, joint participation in student conferences and youth initiatives.

The renowned polytechnician, assistant of the Higher School of Sports Education of the Institute of Physical Culture and Sport, Kirill Prigoda became the winner of the World Aquatics Championships in Singapore. He won gold in the 4×100 m combined relay. And before that, he won silver in the individual event at the 50 m breaststroke.

The World Championships are being held in Singapore from July 11 to August 3. On July 30, Kirill Prigoda, Miron Lifintsev, Darya Klepikova and Darya Trofimova won the combined relay. Our team not only won a confident victory in the final, but also set a new world championship record – 3:37.37. This victory went down in history – before it, Russian swimmers had not won the relay at major international tournaments for 22 years! The last time our athletes won was in 2003. Then Kirill Prigoda was seven years old.

The emotions are very pleasant, because the team gave 110%. The guys are great, but the championship is not over yet. We will celebrate at the end of the competition, – said Kirill Prigoda on air at Match TV.

Let us remind you that the Russian team is performing in Singapore in a neutral status. Thus, during the swim it was forbidden to chant "Russia". This is a strict condition of the International Swimming Federation. The team was given a special guide. If we violated it, we were threatened with exclusion from the championship. And even though we did not see the Russian flag or hear our anthem at the awards ceremony, everyone in the world understood that the Russians were on the top step of the podium.

Less than an hour before the team victory, Kirill Prigoda secured the title of vice-champion in the 50-meter breaststroke. In the final swim, he showed a result of 26.62 seconds. This medal was the 11th for the Russians and the first personal award for Russian swimmers at the current championship.

We are proud of Kirill and once again we are convinced that Polytechnic University helps develop abilities and talents in science, creativity, and sports! – noted SPbPU Rector Andrey Rudskoy.

Kirill Prigoda is already an eight-time world champion! He is also a four-time world championship medalist, a two-time European champion, and a silver and bronze medalist at the European Short Course Championships. He currently holds three world records.

The World Championships are ongoing, and Kirill Prigoda has a great opportunity to add to the Russian team’s medal collection.

During these hot days, an equally hot event took place at the Igora Drive circuit in the Leningrad Region — the fourth Garage Fest festival. The Polytech North Capital Motorsport (Polytech NCM) student team became one of the participants in the Formula Student competition and performed well.

There was so much to see at the festival! Four-hour endurance races, drift competitions, exhibitions of rare cars, dragsters and drag racing prototypes, as well as interesting lectures and discussions about the past, present and future of cars.

A separate topic is the international student racing car competition "Formula Student". There, our Polytech NCM team did not get lost among strong competitors from Russia, Turkey and China. The guys proved that they are real engineers and athletes, ready to fight for leadership. At all stages of the competition, they were supported by students from the Polymer association – they tried not to miss a single event of the program, filmed a report, followed the races and, of course, rooted for the Polytechnicians.

To gain access to the races, you need to overcome the stage of static disciplines. Here, Polytech NCM was at its best. The guys passed the technical inspection and presented their car to experts. As a result, the Polytechnicians became winners in the presentation of the business plan, received second place for the report on cost and production, and came in third in the disciplines "Best digital twin of a racing car" and "Protection of the structure".

Thus, the team earned the right to participate in the general race and took fourth place there. The guys were delighted to be among their own again – in the engineering community, where everyone supports each other despite the competition. Now they are set for the new season and expect to improve their result at the next Garage Fest Igora Drive.

In July 2025, a large educational program was completed — a course for advanced training of teachers "1C Academy: Effective Teaching of 1C Technologies in Universities". It is implemented by Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University together with a technology partner — 1C Company. The main goal of the educational project "1C Academy" is to improve the quality and level of teaching modern technologies of corporate information systems. It is also aimed at training in the professional use of 1C products in the context of rapidly developing requirements of the digital economy based on the concept of a ready-made educational product.

In 2025, 1C Academy united more than 100 higher education institutions from 68 cities in five countries and 192 teachers seeking to develop their professional competencies in teaching modern information technologies based on advanced solutions from 1C. The scope of training participants has expanded significantly and, importantly, teachers from universities in the CIS countries have joined the program — more than 30% of the program's students are foreign participants. Among them: 12 teachers from Uzbekistan, 8 from Kazakhstan, 43 representatives from Belarus and 1 participant from Armenia. Thus, 1C Academy has reached a new level of cooperation and integration of educational resources of Russia and partners in the CIS countries.

A ready-made educational product is an approach when a complete set of educational and methodological materials is prepared: video lectures, tests, practical cases, configured for performing practical tasks of the IT system. The materials are adapted for any form of conducting classes and are ready for replication. The materials themselves, without a teacher training system, are ineffective, so SPbPU has developed a professional development program where teachers study not just the capabilities of the product, but receive material that can immediately be integrated with the university's LMS and begin teaching disciplines related to 1C, – said one of the authors of the course, senior researcher of the International Academic Competence Center "Intellectual Enterprise Technologies" of the Advanced Engineering School "Digital Engineering" SPbPU Anton Ambrazhey.

During the training, the participants completed a four-month course covering various processes in the 1C: ERP CIS, development on the 1C: Enterprise platform, and a methodological block. The program was successfully completed by 117 people, which amounted to more than 60%. The most successful graduates were awarded prizes from 1C.

Many participants noted the excellent structure of the course, the clarity of presentation of the material, the quality of the educational and methodological materials.

The course was organized and conducted at the highest level! The materials are structured and easy to understand, the feedback is timely, support is at all stages of training, – wrote in the review senior lecturer of the Kazakh Agrotechnical University Ayagoz Orazbaeva.

Professor of Moscow Polytechnic University Petr Romanov noted: The high level of preparation of educational materials and convenient structure allowed to effectively master new technologies. Convenient video lectures and prompt feedback from the organizers made a special impression.

This is the first time I am taking part in such training! The level of methodological support, technical support, as well as the quality of the prepared materials and the professionalism of the speakers are amazing! I felt “space” technologies on myself. This course has become a vector for the coming semesters. Thank you for the training! I will follow your example!!! — shared her impressions of the course associate professor of the Ural State Mining University Svetlana Lebedeva.

Deputy Director for Strategic Projects at 1C LLC Nikita Starichkov, assessing the importance of the 1C Academy for the industry, noted: There may be different universities, different areas of training, different educational programs, but always and everywhere it is the teachers who play a key role in the development and training of a young specialist. At the same time, it is important that the knowledge of teachers does not lag behind the IT industry, which is developing by leaps and bounds. Therefore, for our part, we welcome and support the Academy project, which has been held by Polytech for several years now. We hope that it will continue to actively develop in the future.

The Polytechnic University is holding a similar "Academy" for students. A similar course for students, "1C Academy for Students", is scheduled to launch in October 2025. Information can be found atofficial website of the program. Students from Russian and foreign universities have a unique opportunity to master new technologies and develop the necessary competencies for a successful career in the modern digital economy.

An important result of the implementation of the "1C Academy" is the creation of a solid foundation for the further development of the pedagogical potential of universities in the CIS countries and the training of highly professional personnel for the modern digital economy. Teachers and students acquire valuable knowledge and ready-made materials that allow not only to form a theoretical basis, but also to actively apply modern digital solutions in training and work.

Students who pay for their education have the opportunity to take advantage of an educational loan with state support.

What are the advantages of such a loan? The state pays most of the interest rate. Therefore, for a student, the rate is only 3% per annum. Moreover, it is valid for the entire term of the loan, and not just for the duration of the studies.

A loan can be taken to pay for any period of study – from one semester to the entire term. During the course of study and for another nine months after its completion, there is a benefit for loan payments. The remaining debt can be repaid within 15 years, but without benefits. Of course, if possible, you can repay the loan early without any fees.

The borrower under the loan agreement with the bank will be the student himself, so it is not necessary to provide a certificate of income – earnings are not important for receiving an educational loan.

And these are the documents you need:

original passport; original agreement on the provision of paid educational services with a university or college or its certified copy with a note that the copy corresponds to the original; receipt or invoice for tuition fees.

If the student is under 18 years old, the following will also be required:

original birth certificate; original passport of one of the parents; original written consent of one of the parents to enter into a loan agreement with the bank.

Before applying to a bank for a loan, sign an agreement with a university or college. It should indicate that you will be studying in a fee-paying department. Then come with your documents to an office convenient for youSbera(if you are under 18, then with your parents) or leave a request on the website.

If the loan is approved, the bank will credit the amount to your account and then transfer it to the educational institution's account. You cannot withdraw or spend this money. In case the university requires confirmation of the transfer, save the payment document.

Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University has won a grant from the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation to conduct scientific research jointly with Huazhong University of Science and Technology (Wuhan, China).

The project “Advanced technologies of interactive multi-agent interaction and control for an intelligent cyber-physical system under conditions of uncertainty for transport systems” is led by Vyacheslav Shkodyrev, Director of the Scientific and Technological Complex “Mathematical Modeling and Intelligent Control Systems”.

The main objective of the project is to improve the efficiency of group control of the interaction of distributed industrial unmanned vehicles, as well as their autonomous operation, using new methods and models of multi-objective optimization based on the concept of intellectualization of cyber-physical systems with the architecture of interacting cognitive-learning agents to achieve a common strategic control goal.

As technology advances, the application of intelligent cyber-physical systems is becoming more widespread in such industries as smart transportation, industrial automation, manufacturing logistics, etc. However, in complex and unknown environments, these systems face a number of limitations, including insufficient autonomous intelligence, unbalanced task distribution, low collaboration performance, and limited rational decision-making capabilities. Scientists will work to address these and other issues to provide technological support for the efficient operation of intelligent cyber-physical systems.

It is planned to use the advantages of the two universities in research on interactive technologies of multi-criteria search and control, in particular in research on the operation of intelligent cyber-physical systems under uncertainty. One of their tasks is to optimize large language models using data obtained from jointly developed adequate simulation models in combination with real data. This should ensure the generation of effective decompositions into subtasks and more accurate schemes for distributing complex tasks, which, together with cognitive control methods, will lead to the formation of safe and effective schemes for autonomous planning and control when performing multiple tasks.

This is important for the intellectual development of vehicle control systems in industrial and other conditions. The practical significance of the project also lies in the fact that its results can be used not only in industry, but also to ensure public safety and in the elimination of the consequences of natural disasters.

The project is designed for 2.5 years. Scientists plan to combine their knowledge in the field of artificial intelligence and control to create innovative solutions in the field of unmanned transport.

This grant is an important victory that opens up new opportunities for international collaboration. The implementation of the project will allow us to combine the advanced scientific approaches of the two countries to develop innovative solutions in the field of industrial unmanned transport systems management, – commented Vice-Rector for Research Yuri Fomin.

A group of scientists from the Institute of Civil Engineering of SPbPU, led by Associate Professor of the Higher School of Hydraulic and Power Engineering Oleg Stolyarov, continues to develop lightweight thin-walled building structures made of textile-reinforced concrete with prestressing. In 2024, the project received grant support from the Russian Science Foundation, which made it possible to expand the possibilities for conducting experiments and analyzing data.

The research group includes associate professors Pavel Mostovykh and Tatyana Koryakovtseva, as well as graduate student and assistant Anna Dontsova.

Textile-reinforced concrete is a combination of textile reinforcing meshes and fine-grained concrete. The advantages of these elements are the absence of corrosion, lower weight and the ability to create complex shapes. Over the past two decades, this material has found its niche in construction and is used for enclosing structures, coatings, urban infrastructure elements and small architectural forms.

The aim of the project is to increase the potential of thin-walled structures with fiber reinforcement due to prestressing the reinforcement. Prestressed concrete helps reduce the negative effect of poor tensile properties of concrete, increase the rigidity of the structure, reduce its deformations, increase resistance to crack formation and limit their opening. Structures with prestressed steel reinforcement have significant advantages over non-stressed analogues – smaller deflections and increased resistance to crack formation. A similar principle can be successfully implemented in fiber composites, which opens up new prospects for the use of prestressed textile reinforcement in construction.

The results of the studies showed that prestressing significantly affects the mechanical properties of concrete composites.

Thin-walled structures made of textile-reinforced concrete are a revolution in the creation of sustainable, lightweight and bold architectural solutions, says project manager Oleg Stolyarov.
