The thesis was developed in the area of Process System Engineering using Process Integration tools (source diagram) to create sustainable industrial processes. The SD enables the minimization of the use of resources (materials and energy), the generation of waste and emissions, and the possibility of evaluating the system holistically. To explore the potential of this tool, it was applied in three distinct areas: (a) extension of the Water Sources Diagram (WSD) to overcome the limitations… Show more The thesis was developed in the area of Process System Engineering using Process Integration tools (source diagram) to create sustainable industrial processes. The SD enables the minimization of the use of resources (materials and energy), the generation of waste and emissions, and the possibility of evaluating the system holistically. To explore the potential of this tool, it was applied in three distinct areas: (a) extension of the Water Sources Diagram (WSD) to overcome the limitations involving fixed flowrate problems, loss and/or gain of water problems in systems with one or multiple contaminants; (b) development of Cooling Water Sources Diagram (CWSD), to determine the minimum water flow rate of the cooling system, without affecting the removal of the heat load in the set of heat exchangers; and (c) development of the Carbon Sources Diagram (CSD), which enables the management of GHG emissions in the elaboration of energy planning. Regarding CSD, an energy planning for the Brazilian electricity sector for 2025 was developed considering the increase in the production of some renewable sources and biomass-powered thermoelectric plant.

I actively worked in the project developed at CENPES/Petrobras on improving and rewriting the SIMCRAQ simulator, using new features of the Fortran language (object orientation) to increase and facilitate the maintainability of the simulator through the restructuring of data input and output in the simulator, and elegant handling of simulation errors. Technical reports and related studies were developed during the period.

I worked as a research engineer in the "Simulator for the H2S Sequestration Process in an Oil Well" project by Grupo de Integração de Processos Químicos from EQ/UFRJ in partnership with Petrobras. This work developed a software called SIMSEQ, which aimed to study the behavior of H2S sequestration, identifying the sequestrant consumption and the best location for its injection.

This work developed a software called SIMSEQ, which aimed to study the behavior of H2S sequestration, identifying the sequestrant consumption and the best location for its injection. I collaborated with the development of mathematical models used to calculate H2S concentration, with calculations of bubble pressure, the amount of H2S sequestered, and the main output variables of the simulator. I also worked on carrying out simulations with the Aspen Hysys process simulator. Ultimately, we conducted simulations to compare the results of SIMSEQ and Aspen Hysys. With this, we deliver the SIMSEQ simulator and a simulation scheme in Hysys integrated with Excel® to the customer, where it is possible to solve the same problem using a conventional process simulator.
