At the present stage of scientific and technological progress and rapid development of industrial production, the problem of environmental protection is becoming a problem. Air pollution has a serious impact on human health, global and regional climatic conditions. The main types of pollutants are gaseous substances. When fuel burns, carbon monoxide is released during traffic. This is a very toxic gas. Blood easily interacts with hemoglobin and continues to function; therefore, it is important to reduce emissions of toxic substances by vehicles and industrial facilities.

This paper presents the results of the influence of ultrasonic treatment in the cofermentation of the cattle manure mixture (cattle) with the leaven from the rumen of ruminants on the process of biogas production. Anaerobic digestion was carried out in matinence periodic operation at the mesophilic temperature of 38 C ̊. As a substrate, a mixture with a content of 70 % cattle manure and 10 % leaven from rumen of ruminants was used. Treatment with ultrasound of the mixture was carried out at an intensity of 10 W/cm2 and an amount of input energy of 9350 kJ/kg of dry matter (DM), which completely eliminated the processes of stratification and sedimentation. Decomposition of organic matter (OM) in the periodic regime with the enzyme and ultrasound treatment occurred within 8 days, the usual substrate during this time OM decomposed 3.0 times less (only 14 %). The process of fermentation of methane in continuous and periodic modes treated with ultrasound, as at other temperatures, was stable, as can be judged by the values of volatile fatty acids (VFA) Volatile fatty acids (VFAs), alkalinity, pH, and biogas. The energetical efficiency of methane fermentation is estimated by comparing the volume of fuel (biogas) and heat consumption for technological needs. As shown by the comparison of efficiency of different regime, the largest amount of commercial energy in the form of biogas was obtained in the mode of joint fermentation of a mixture of cattle manure (cattle) with a ferment from the rumen of ruminants treated with ultrasound – 3 times more than without treatment (space).

When managing a filling station chain, it is necessary to solve the following tasks in dynamics: determining the volume of purchases by types of oil products sold and redistributing the available volume of various types of oil products to filling station chain. The peculiarity of this control task is that the replenishment of the storage of oil products is carried out centrally, and the sale of each type of fuel is carried out at separate filling stations of the network, that is, in many points. At the same time, the volume of each type of fuel sold by each station of the network should be taken into account separately, taking into account the seasonal demand for a specific oil product. In addition to modeling demand, information is needed on the volume of petroleum products that can be purchased from suppliers with the possibility of increasing or decreasing the volume of purchases due to demand. To solve this problem, a list of suppliers of a specific type of oil product with a possible range of supply volumes must be determined. In the proposed model, an attempt is made to solve the above problems. To solve them, a management model was developed, which was implemented using the Visual Studio C # programming environment and MS SQLServer DBMS. When developing the structure of the database tables, the task of managing a network of filling stations based on the Petri net was taken into account: that is, the database tables provided for storing information on the volumes of supplies of petroleum products, the volume of sales of each type of petroleum product, as well as the time of deliveries and sales. To solve the problem of centralized procurement for all types of fuel, the database provided tables with information about suppliers and possible volumes of supplies by them of various types of petroleum products. To solve the problems of forecasting demand, the model includes algorithms for predicting the volume of sales of petroleum products based on the accumulated time series of data for each type of fuel separately. The forecasting was carried out in order to assess the required volumes of purchases of oil products for the coming period. The prediction algorithms are implemented using two methods: linear approximation and exponential smoothing. Both algorithms take into account the seasonality of demand.

One of the agent modern tasks is to ensure the cleanliness of the air basin. To ensure this, it is necessary to clean the combustion products of the fuel removed from the boilers after their cooling into the atmosphere from harmful substances, including nitrogen oxide.

The main problem: This article is devoted to the key problems of the fuel and energy complex of the Republic of Kazakhstan: 1) lack of production capacity to meet the growing demand for energy and fuel from the economy and the population. Increased demand for electricity and heat, which will require the commissioning of new generating capacities.There is already a shortage in the fuel markets. Modernization and bringing the existing oil refineries (hereinafter referred to as refineries) to full capacity will not allow providing the domestic market until 2030; 2) the export orientation of raw materials, the dependence of the economy on the export of energy resources. In order to attract technology and investment in the oil and gas and nuclear industries, agreements on the extraction of energy resources were concluded with international export companies. In the medium term, Kazakhstan may face a shortage of oil for domestic refineries, if measures are not taken to stimulate its refining within the country. The uranium mined is fully exported; 3) high energy intensity of the economy, low level of energy efficiency. There is a high potential for increasing the efficiency of energy use both in the electric power industry and fuel production, and at the level of final consumption – in industry and housing and communal services; 4) decrease in the replenishment and quality of the resource base in the oil and gas, coal and nuclear industries; 5) low environmental friendliness of technologies used in the fuel and energy complex. Purpose: The purpose of the article is to reveal the problem in the field of ensuring the fulfillment of international obligations between different countries and their own energy sufficiency by gradually changing the structure of energy production. Methods: Studying the experience of increasing the efficiency of the use of energy resources and energy saving as a priority of the state policy of the country. Analysis of production capacity with a constantly forecasted shortage of primary energy resources and insufficient growth of capacity for the production of electricity and heat. Consideration of the possibility of compensating for the shortage by saving energy resources, increasing tariffs for energy carriers, as a stimulating factor for their effective use. Results and their significance: The results of this article will reflect the problems of energy, as the most important driving force of global economic progress. The well-being of the people depends on the state of the country's energy sector, therefore there is an urgent need to solve the emerging problems. The global energy problem is, first of all, the issue of stable and efficient supply of fuel and energy to mankind. Today, the energy sector of Kazakhstan is focused on fuel resources, since the country is provided with hydrocarbons and other energy resources. About 72 % of electricity in Kazakhstan is generated from coal, 12,3 % from hydro resources, 10,6 % from gas and 4,9 % from oil. Thus, the four main types of power plants generate 99,8 % of electricity, while alternative sources account for less than 0,2 %.

Combustion engines operate over a wide range of power and speed. To the greatest extent, this applies to automotive and tractor engines and diesel engines operating at fractional and idle loads for a significant part of the operating time. When designing engines, the choice of their main design and layout parameters is carried out in a comprehensive manner, taking into account the provision of the required power and efficiency in the modes of maximum torque and rated power. However, ensuring the economical operation of modern highly accelerated diesel engines at low loads and idling causes a whole range of problems related mainly to the organization of effective mixture formation and fuel burnout, as well as to ensuring stable fuel supply. Thus, the cycle dose of injected fuel in idle mode is 8–12 times less than the cycle dose in nominal mode, which determines increased requirements for fuel equipment and difficulties in ensuring high-quality mixture formation. At the same time, diesel engines operate in idle mode up to 50 % of the total operating time, consuming up to 15–20% of the fuel. For truck engines, the relative idle time is approximately 20–25 %. Thus, the development of measures to improve the efficiency of diesel engines at idle is relevant. The purpose is to perform a numerical analysis of the effect of switching off cycles in diesel engines for autotractor and diesel locomotive purposes on the working processes in the cylinder and the indicator parameters of the cycle in idle modes. When writing the article, traditional methods (comparison, description, and measurement), generallogical methods and research techniques (analysis, generalization, etc.) were used. A numerical analysis of the operating cycle of a diesel engine equipped with a cycle shutdown system was performed. The relationship between changes in fuel injection characteristics when cycles are turned off with indicator indicators of the engine operating cycle in idle load modes is disclosed. It has been established that the expediency of switching off cycles in a specific engine operation mode is determined primarily by the features of the injection, carburetion and fuel burnout processes.

Main problem: recently, much attention has been paid to energy saving in production, especially when it comes to industrial units that burn fuel. There are several ways to maximize the use of the heat released during the combustion process, for example, to reduce the temperature of the flue gases at the outlet of the unit, by maximizing its use, both in the technological process itself and by installing additional heat-receiving units, for example, air heaters or other heaters. Another way to save money is to reduce heat losses through the lining of these high-temperature units. Metallurgical units that consume a large amount of energy and fuel require an analysis of their consumption, and ways to save their consumption based on the results of the analysis. Purpose: this article considers the possibility of replacing the existing inner insulation layer of the second and third sections of a high-temperature unit - a metallurgical furnace, with a new one with better technical and economic indicators. Methods: the possibility of replacing the existing inner insulation layer of the second and third sections of the high-temperature unit with a new one, with the best technical and economic indicators, was considered. The calculation of heat losses by thermal conductivity through the side surfaces and the roof with new insulation was performed, and the economic efficiency of the proposed solution was proved. Results and their significance: replacing the existing inner layer of insulation - refractory concrete PHLOCAST M30 (thermal conductivity coefficient from 1,4 to 1,45) with the proposed CERALIT GUN HK 70070 (thermal conductivity coefficient from 1,03 to 1,12) will reduce heat loss to the environment, and thus to reduce fuel consumption for the furnace.

In this article, comprehensive studies have been conducted on the rational use of natural pastures, taking into account the seasons and typology, which allows increasing the grazing capacity of forage lands, as well as obtaining high-grade valuable and cheap livestock products. Rational maintenance of livestock on pastures not only reduces fuel costs by 6-7 times, equipment, labor and total feed costs by 2-3 times compared to the content of grazed animals, but also improves metabolic processes and reproductive functions of animals. This determines the great advantage of pasture feeding in the production of important livestock products. In the conditions of vertical zonality of the Zhambyl region, a significant reserve for increasing the production of mutton is their grazing on pasture with the use of pasture turnover; which allows the most efficient use of natural forage lands, increase the live weight and fatness of animals.
