URALGIPROMEZ at a meeting of the Science. Education. Industry association

On 21 May 2026, the Institute of Metallurgy of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Yekaterinburg hosted a meeting of the “Science. Education. Industry” Association on the theme “New technologies: a step towards not only rational resource use, but also economic development and stronger Russian sovereignty”.

Uralgipromez was represented by Mikhail Andreyevich Belousov, Head of the Non-Ferrous Metallurgy and Chemical Production Department. He presented “Uralgipromez’s experience: building a vanadium pentoxide plant for EVRAZ — from EVRAZ NTMK slag to in-house processing”.

Mikhail Belousov described the full project delivery cycle, from engineering surveys to designer supervision, emphasising the importance of a closed-loop system for processing metallurgical waste. Particular attention was paid to BIM technologies, equipment import substitution and the optimisation of process technologies.

💬 The presentation attracted keen interest and active discussion among representatives of academic science, including the Ural Branch’s Institute of Metallurgy and Institute of Electrophysics, universities and industrial enterprises. Participants noted the practical value of the experience presented for strengthening Russia’s technological sovereignty.

Uralgipromez’s key message was that modern design must be grounded in science, ensure environmental safety and create full-cycle production facilities, from raw materials to finished products.

Uralgipromez thanks the organisers for the invitation and for constructive cooperation aimed at developing collaboration between science and industry!
