Specialists of R&D MGTU implement several projects aimed at improving the environment. The projects are based on machine vision and neural network technologies applied at industrial plants to decrease harmful air emissions.
R&D MGTU developed a gas leakage automatic recognition system and technology for coke-oven doors and gas exhaust ducts of top structures. The machine vision technology detects coke-oven gas leakages. The system is tested at the Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works. As part of the project, over 30 video cameras were installed to monitor and register online 24/7 gas leakages at coke-oven batteries No. 7 and 8, and gas leakages of gas exhaust ducts of top structures at coke-oven batteries No. 7, 8, 13 and 14. If there are any deviations from setpoints, software and hardware register such events in an interactive log and send relevant people an email message with an attached photo indicating time, the battery and oven number.

Published: 01 June 2021
From the 24th till the 28th of May Nosov Magnitogorsk State Technical University hosted the 11th International Conference Combined Geotechnology. Leading scientists in geotechnology discussed currently relevant issues of development of combined geotechnology. This year the conference is devoted to risks and global challenges related to exploitation and conservation of mineral resources.
A current state of exploitation of mineral resources is characterized by facing global challenges greatly influencing development of a mining complex: from the pandemic and an unstable global market till natural industry-related catastrophes. Therefore, there is a need for minimizing risks of global challenges for efficient development of combined geotechnologies.
