Chemical Technology of Natural Energy Sources and Carbon Materials
‘Chemical Technology of Natural Energy Sources and CarbonMaterials’ is one of the most prestigious (among the technical ones) . Students have to know that future specialists in this field solve practically all current issues and they manage the work of all departments and even whole enterprises. They are in charge of many other specialists (mechanical engineers, electricians, instrument tenders, heating engineers, economists, and many others) so that future technologists have to be not only well educated but to be able to work with people.Chemical technology is a science, a field of practical activity, and even art in a way. It has definite patterns. If a student masters these patterns, they will be able to become a specialist not only in oil refining, but in many other fields.

Equipment for the Chemical Industry and Enterprises of Construction Materials
The qualification given – ‘mechanical engineer’
.Our specialists can work at different enterprises of oil refinement and other fields. All graduates ge the first working place that can provide them with the highest salaries in the republic.
The students’ practical training is carried out mainly at plants “Naftan”, “Polymir”, and “Polotsk-Steklovolokno”. At these enterprises the students also get the material for their course and diploma projects.
For those who want to connect their lives with science, it is possible to get a post-graduate training at the speciality ‘Equipment for the Chemical Technology’.
What is Chemical Engineering?
Chemical Engineering – is a field of knowledge that represents the interconnection of Chemistry and engineering sciences. Production processes of Chemical Engineering consist of numerous chemical, biological, and physical processes. Chemical and biological processes change chemical nature of substances; with the help of physical processes substances change their shape and modify, cool down, or warm up. These processes have enormous value for global economy.
HEAT AND GAS SUPPLY, VENTILATION AND AIR PROTECTION
The qualification given – ‘civil engineer’. A future specialist investigates the questions of building and exploitation of the systems of heat supply, heating, ventilation, conditioning, gas supply of civil and industrial objects, and the environment protection.
The main disciplines: engineering thermodynamics; heat-mass exchange; heating; ventilation; heat supply; air conditioning and cold supply; ventilation of special buildings; perspective and non-traditional systems of gas and heat supply and ventilation; metrology, etc.Practical trainings: geodetic, training and introductory, I – production, II – production, pre graduation.
The deterioration of the ecological state of water resources makes it more and more difficult to provide the population with high quality water. The solution of this problem is not an easy task and it presupposes the specialists’ deep knowledge in different fields of modern science, technique, and technologies.That is why students master different subjects during the whole period of training:
• mechanics of liquids, water chemistry and microbiology;
• pumps and pump stations, water intake structures, networks of water supply and water utilization, technology of purification of natural and drain waters, and many others.
During the period of training students carry out course projects and have practical trainings. At the final stage students work on diploma projects and then present them. The themes of the diplomas are connected with a complex solving of all issues that touch the system of water supply and water utilization in a town or at the enterprises.The graduates are qualified as civil-processing engineers. This qualification gives the right to work in scientific and research, design and building organizations, and many other institutions.
There also exists the opportunity to get a post graduate training
