Oleg Giyazov, the founder and director of Russian startup RRT Global, a developer of oil refining technology, has been included in a list of the world’s top five most promising engineers by Hydrocarbon Processing magazine.
The winners will be announced at the Hydrocarbon Processing Awards ceremony on June 7 in Vienna, Austria.
Based in St. Petersburg, RRT Global conducts research into catalysts and develops and designs refining processes. It is a resident of the energy cluster of Skolkovo, the international tech hub under completion on the outskirts of Moscow. “In what is a very short timeframe for the oil-processing industry, RRT has been able to develop two unique oil-processing technologies, one of which is already being introduced at an international level with support from the industry’s leading engineering company, KBR,” said Marat Zaydullin, head of the oil and gas centre within Skolkovo’s energy cluster.
