Main achievements of the Institute in recent years

Center for Applied Photonics

At the moment, an urgent task remains the development of miniature sensors that could detect low concentrations of hydrocarbons in real time. Experimental data shows that particle-embedded resonators and sensors have higher sensitivity, selectivity, response speed and shorter recovery time compared to their non-embedded counterparts. Also, refractive index (RI) based measurement is a basic optical sensing method that can be implemented in various spectral ranges. Measuring gases based on refractive index (RI), especially low molecular weight gases, is challenging due to the extremely small change in refractive index caused by fluctuations in gas concentration. Thus, the introduction of particles is a relevant and promising problem for the detection of various substances. In particular, for use in the development of IR spectroscopic methods for the rapid detection of low concentrations of hydrocarbons.

An installation for annealing graphite cassettes used for the epitaxy of LED and photodiode heterostructures has been developed and created. Current tasks remain the creation of mini-spectrometers based on multi-element LED matrices, the creation of an installation for the epitaxy of LED and photodiode heterostructures, and conducting experimental epitaxy processes.

Center for Digital Technologies

An analysis of the features of organizing work in the knowledge-intensive sector was carried out.

The development of a digital representation of knowledge in the form of graph models and ontologies was carried out, taking into account the key role of blockchain technologies for the commercialization of the results of intellectual activity.

A methodology has been developed to simplify cooperation chains between the manufacturer of a scientific product and its end consumer from the real sector of the economy, to expand the possibilities for commercializing domestic developments on the world market, to reduce costs and improve the quality of implementation of complex science-intensive projects.

Oil and Gas Technology Center

In the field of studying shale strata and domanikites, for the first time the characteristic features of alkyltoluenes, alkylnaphthalenes and hopanes of composition C30 were established for oils of Tatarstan and the Timan-Pechora region. Based on the results obtained, new geochemical coefficients were developed for the first time, allowing one to evaluate the stages of formation of oil fields, the values of which were presented in a tabular form and graphical form.

New data have been obtained on the geochemical features of unconventional shale reservoirs (Domanik facies) on the territory of the Republic of Tatarstan, which allows us to continue the development of a new method for studying shale deposits.

New scientific approaches to the study of high-carbon sediments have been developed.

In the field of studying scientific and applied aspects of decarbonization, an analysis of environmental taxation in the EU, Russian Federation, CIS and EFES was carried out. A study of environmental taxation, structuring and systematization of existing taxes and fees, and determination of the effectiveness of taxation were carried out.

Work has begun on testing chemical reagents to increase oil recovery with the Chinese company Hilong, which is offering a new reagent for use in the fields of Tatarstan and Russia. A joint research program for a reagent to enhance oil recovery has been developed. Analytical work was carried out at specific sites in Tatarstan. The ODA program has been justified and an object for ODA has been selected.

Scientific foundations have been developed for the use of innovative technology for monitoring hydraulic fracturing and fracture development based on the use of innovative signal recording technology (there are no analogues in the Russian Federation), as well as based on the use of our own technical means - new generation recording devices (import substitution).

The results obtained during the research work are recommended for use when carrying out prospecting and exploration work for oil deposits in the Domanik formation of Tatarstan, as well as in developing methods for the development of these deposits and assessing the hydrocarbon resources of shale deposits.

4. Center for organic agriculture and environmentally friendly products

A law on organic agriculture was developed and adopted.

Together with the accredited testing center of the Federal State Budgetary Institution "Tatar Interregional Veterinary Laboratory" subordinate to Rosselkhoznadzor, an original matrix and basic methods for laboratory control of the quality and safety of organic products have been developed.

Technologies for cultivating crops and raising livestock using biotechnology products recommended by the Center have been developed and tested at experimental sites;

Plant and animal protection technologies using biotechnology products recommended by the Center have been developed and tested in basic agricultural enterprises.

An analysis of the state of soils was carried out to determine their suitability for organic and environmentally friendly agriculture. A set of cartographic materials was generated and discussed.
