The article evaluates the efficiency of hydrogen production at NPPs using water electrolysis («yellow» hydrogen) for the purpose of supplying it to oil refineries to replace «gray» hydrogen. It provides a basic diagram of hydrogen production and supply from NPPs to oil refineries by pipeline, as well as all the necessary initial data. It provides a methodology for estimating the cost of hydrogen production at NPPs, taking into account its delivery to oil refineries depending on the distance, as well as the final economic effect as a result of replacing «gray» hydrogen with «yellow».

The article examines an innovative method for immobilizing tritium-containing water in concrete, designed as an alternative to conventional disposal approaches. Using the Fukushima-1 NPP accident as a case study, the authors present the COREBRICK technology (developed by EXORB), which combines ion-selective sorption and conditioning of contaminated water for subsequent use in construction materials. Calculations of the concrete solution’s specific activity were performed based on TEPCO data, complemented by Monte Carlo simulations to verify compliance with international radiation safety standards. The findings demonstrate that the proposed method ensures effective tritium containment and is suitable for producing structural materials in the construction of storage facilities and other nuclear infrastructure.

While hydraulic fracturing has become a cornerstone of modern oil production, the sustainable management of its polysaccharide-rich waste fluids remains a significant research challenge. This review investigates the feasibility of employing dark fermentation as a bio-based technology for the degradation of these fluids and the concomitant production of biohydrogen. We provide a comprehensive overview of the dark fermentation process and delineate the key structural features of fracturing fluid polysaccharides relevant to their microbial breakdown. Moreover, the current state of knowledge concerning the microorganisms involved in this anaerobic bioconversion was evaluated. Significantly, critical knowledge gaps and propose potential research directions were identified, particularly focusing on pre-treatment methodologies to overcome the inherent recalcitrance of certain polysaccharides and optimize biohydrogen yields from these industrial waste streams.

It is important to use renewable energy sources to provide autonomous energy consumers with continuous energy and improve energy efficiency.

This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the research methods and modeling techniques for linear induction motors (LIMs) used in modern cutting systems. Special attention is given to cylindrical LIMs, which offer significant advantages such as high positioning accuracy, reduced energy losses, and the elimination of mechanical conversion components. The study considers analytical and numerical approaches, as well as modeling based on magnetic equivalent circuits. For model validation, software tools such as MATLAB/Simulink, FEMLAB, and ELCUT were employed to evaluate the drive’s dynamic, electromechanical, and transient characteristics. Functional schemes for the programmable logic controller (PLC), power section, and control algorithms of the cutting system are developed. The results demonstrate the efficiency of LIMs in industrial automation tasks and highlight their potential to improve the reliability and energy efficiency of electromechanical drives. The findings have practical relevance for the design of intelligent control systems in mechatronics and robotics applications.

The relevance of the study is due to the low efficiency of using the heat of combustion of fuel in modern industrial, energy and heating installations In this regard, this article is aimed at revealing the possibilities of using the latent heat of the formation of water vapor contained in flue gases. The main approach to the study of this problem is the use of continuous heating of the coolant. The materials on mathematical modeling of heat and mass exchange processes in «a flue gas – water» environment are presented.

The article proposed an algorithm for the environmentally sustainable reconstruction of an industrial building with an integrated energy facility using 4D Building Information Modelling (4D BIM). This approach to reconstruction includes technical re-equipment and compliance with environmental standards, reducing emissions of pollutants, and optimizing energy consumption. 4D modelling helps take into account energy parameters and select energy-efficient solutions. The integration of environmental classifiers allows for monitoring and adjusting the project as needed.

In the context of modern construction, reducing the negative impact on the environment is becoming a key indicator. During the reconstruction of industrial enterprises, new challenges arise in the field of integration of modern technologies and compliance with environmental standards. TIM, including 4D BIM modelling, is an effective tool for optimizing processes and achieving sustainable development goals. 4D BIM adds a temporal factor to 3D models, allowing for better construction management, risk minimization, and resource planning. However, the application of 4D BIM in the reconstruction of industrial facilities is limited due to outdated regulations and insufficient digital maturity of organizations.

The article shows that the introduction of 4D BIM into reconstruction projects of industrial and energy facilities is a perspective direction for optimizing construction processes and improving the efficiency of decisions.

High cost of steel production, introduction of new capacities and restrictive duties, as well as emissions taxes lead to high competition between steel producers, which necessitates the creation of new technical solutions for steel production with greater efficiency of natural resources. One of the main areas is the development and use of extra-blast furnace methods of iron reduction, for example, reduction of iron with a carbon-hydrogen mixture or pure hydrogen, which eliminate the consumption of metallurgical coke and reduce the energy intensity of steel production. With an increase in the temperature of the processes, the rates of chemical reactions also increase, including the reduction of iron from oxides, in this regard, liquid-phase processes provide the maximum rates of reduction reactions. Theoretical assumptions indicate that the use of a carbon-hydrogen mixture in bubbling reactors of liquid-phase reduction can provide a twofold reduction in the energy consumption of steel. However, the possibility of liquid-phase reduction of iron with a carbon-hydrogen mixture has not been experimentally proven, therefore, for further development of this technology, an experimental study of the process is required. Thus, an experiment on heating, melting and purging of metallurgical concentrate with a carbon-hydrogen mixture was carried out in the laboratory of the National Research University «MPEI». According to the results of melting, a sample was obtained, which was studied by the metallographic method. Microscopic analysis showed that the resulting alloy is comparable in composition and hardness to tool steel U12.

This article presents a method for pre-treatment of melon drying using solar radiation and natural vacuum. After two days of open-air exposure, the weight of uncut melons decreased by 3,1%. For those treated with a solar installation, the decrease was 10,1%. Pre-treated melons in a solar installation reduced the time for weight loss by 28-40%, compared to those processed in open air. These findings may be useful for developing new pre-treatment conditions for drying fruits and vegetables, as an alternative to traditional methods. They could be suitable for industrial applications.
