Samples of the following equipment were presented at the exhibition stand of NPO CKTI OJSC: elements of a system of underwater column heads and a tool for installing and servicing its elements, as well as elements of a system for connecting underwater production equipment.

On October 2, General Director of NPO CKTI V.E. Mikhailov spoke at the closed round table "Modern domestic technologies for the exploration and production of hydrocarbons on the shelf" with a report "Creating domestic equipment for an underwater hydrocarbon production system."

During the exhibition the stand was visited by: Chairman of the Board of Directors of Gazprom PJSC V.A. Zubkov, Chairman of the Board of Gazprom PJSC Alexey Miller, Deputy Chairman of the Board of Gazprom PJSC V.A. Markelov and Head of the Department of Gazprom PJSC P.V. Krylov, representatives of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, headed by M.I. Ivanov, Director of the machine tool and investment engineering department, as well as representatives of leading Russian and foreign industry associations.

At the end of the exhibition NPO CKTI was awarded a diploma for assisting in the corporate display of Import Substitution in the Gas Industry by Gazprom PJSC.

The climatic chamber for heat, cold and moisture REOCAM TCH-30k-SWEhEt with a volume of 30,000 liters, with a temperature range from -70°C to 200°C, relative humidity from 20 to 98%, was put into operation in the Power equipment testing center (PETC) of NPO CKTI, the dimensions of the internal space (WxHxD: 2x3x5m).

The chamber is designed for testing products in high and low temperature, as well as controlled relative humidity. During the tests, it is possible to visually observe the products through the viewing window, as well as to influence the product by connecting the appropriate equipment to it.

The presence of a climatic chamber in the laboratory and bench base of NPO CKTI will allow the Company not only to carry out the necessary tests of prototypes of equipment for the Underwater Hydrocarbon Production System, but also significantly expand the range of certification tests of equipment carried out by the PETC within the framework of accreditation with Rosatom State Corporation and Intergazsert VSC PJSC Gazprom.

From September 24 to 25, employees of NPO CKTI took part in the LXVI scientific and technical session on the problems of gas turbines and combined cycle plants, held in Perm and dedicated to the 80th anniversary of UEC-Aviadvigatel JSC and the 70th anniversary of the Gas Turbines Commission of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

V.E. Rokhlin made a report "Experimental substantiation of new technical solutions for OCGT and CCGT."

On September 19-20, in Paris, on the territory of the EDF research center, one of the organizers, the 3rd European Conference on the Use of Supercritical CO₂ ((3rd European sCO₂ Conference) in the energy sector was held.

At the conference, more than 30 reports were presented on various problems arising from the implementation of cycles using sCO₂ as a working fluid.

The conference was attended by the representatives of the Company, Deputy General Directors Yury Sukhorukov and Valery Rokhlin, head of the laboratory Sergey Esin and lead researcher Igor Kovalev.

Much attention in the course of the work was given to the experimental study of heat transfer processes and the influence of the working fluid on the state of the metal. Most reports focused on the use of CO₂ when heated in solar heat recovery cycles.

Of interest were the reports on experimental studies of turbine and compressor seals. A large number of reports were performed at the Chinese EDF laboratory, as well as at universities in Korea and the USA.

In the period from 4 to 6 September 2019, the quality management system of NPO CKTI was checked for compliance with the requirements of the international standard ISO 9001:2015 and the national standard GOST R ISO 9001-2015.

During the audit the following departments were checked:

• Quality management service;
• HR Department;
• Logistics and transportation department;
• Workshop for the production of non-standard equipment;
• Power equipment test center;
• TPP;
• Laboratory for the development and research of pumping equipment at TPPs and NPPs;
• Chief Metrologist Department;
• Department of heat exchange equipment;
• Experimental organization for resource research, testing of materials and weldments, examination of power equipment of TPPs and NPPs;
• Department of materials research of power, gas transportation and petrochemical equipment;
• Department of industrial boiler plants and energy saving;
• Department for the organization of tender and electronic procedures.

During the inspection it was established that the developed quality management system of NPO CKTI OJSC is successfully maintained in working condition and is constantly being improved. The Company maintains current levels of activity, timely responds to changes associated with internal and external conditions, and implements new opportunities.
Based on the results of the audit, the management of the Russian Register Certification Association decided to issue certificates of conformity to NPO CKTI OJSC on September 18, 2019 in relation to the following activities: research, development, design, production, testing, installation, commissioning, maintenance and operation of power equipment, as well as works that affect the safety of capital construction projects, including particularly dangerous and technically complex capital construction projects for a period up to 30.09.2022.
