There is a growing demand for qualified workforce in the petrochemical and new energy sectors in Brazil, driven by advancements in pre-salt exploration that require extensive knowledge not only in oil extraction but also in its transportation, primary processing, and refining. With the challenges arising from pre-salt and those already existing, there is a need for professionals capable o…
The growing worldwide demand for new renewable energy sources puts the Brazil in a privileged position in the world due to our large experience in the ethanol production from sugar cane and also due to the large portion of farmland in our territory. In this way Brazil is one of the most capable country in the world to development the biorefineries. To realize this favorable situation it i…
Hydrates can be defined as crystalline structures, formed by water, with cavities where light gases are imprisoned. Its formation in pipes and equipment of the petroleum industry may cause problems in terms of flow assurance for offshore petroleum and natural gas production. Hydrate formation may also compromise good functioning of primary processing in platforms. Due to favorable conditi…
Lignocellulosic biomass is the raw material for producing several biomaterials, being widely used in pulp and paper industries, for which the delignification stage, that is, the removal of lignin, is necessary for paper production. However, this process is carried out with solvents that are usually harmful to the environment. Due to the crescent concern about environmental issues, researc…
Biorefinery has attracted the attention of scientists in the last years due to the crescent interest in biofuels and high-value-added and renewable products. In this kind of industrial complex, the biomass needs to be separated into rich fractions of its compounds (cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin), and, afterward, its fractions may be potentially converted into biomaterials, biofuels…
The oil and natural gas industry is growing and has been developing new techniques for capturing its resources in deep ocean waters (offshore production). Like the onshore production, offshore seeks to obtain petroleum and natural gas derivatives to transform them into raw materials with higher added value and useful to the population. However, offshore production acts in the ideal condit…

Lignocellulosic biomass is a promising alternative to fossil fuels as it is a cheap and abundantly available raw material. In this scenario, the concept of biorefineries emerges, aiming at the fractionation of biomass into its major components (cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin), followed by their subsequent conversion into high-value bioproducts. Among these, lignin is the least sensi…
Hydrates are solid solutions formed by water molecules organized in cages which enclose gas molecules. Although seen as solutions in an array of fields, these structures are a serious problem in the petroleum industry. Their formation in tubes, pipes and valves can cause flow obstruction and, ultimately, line rupture. Therefore, much has been invested by petroleum industries to avoid hydr…
