Project I - Methods and Techniques of Risk-Reliability Analysis of Sociotechnical Systems Description.
Discuss paradigms, propose techniques in reliability, risk and energy efficiency and prepare people for intervention in private and public organizations inserted in dynamic socio-environmental and economic environments to achieve sustainability and competitiveness. Opportunities in development: (1) Ferbasa - safe behavior; (2) Loss of Supply Chain Energy (POLIMI), (3) Avoid interruption of operations and accidents in PRE-SAL, offshore.
Project II - Research of Technological Solutions in Energy Efficiency at the Landulpho Alves Refinery
The project aims to develop technological solutions in the areas of: (1) design and thermal performance in cooling towers, (2) integration of processes using pinch and orc technology for coolers, (3) suitability of the wastewater network in the (4) study of heat recovery of vapor gases from exergetic analysis, (5) study of reliability of operating systems, (6) analysis of electric performance in motor-pump groups. These solutions will be
investigated in order to reduce the water and energy consumption for the U39 of the Landulpho Alves Refinery (RLAM) and reduce the interruptions, through a partnership with the Graduate Program in Chemical Engineering of UFBA (PPEQ), Graduation Program in Industrial Engineering at UFBA (PEI), Undergraduate Program in Chemical Engineering at UFBA (DEQ), Undergraduate Program in Production Engineering at UFBA and Undergraduate Program in Mechanical Engineering at UFBA (DEM).
Project III - Behavior Analysis for adjustments in factors that model human performance, reduce energy losses, accidents and improve productivity, POLIMI, Supply Chain, Metallurgy, Petroleum and Civil Construction
UFBA, in association with POLIMI, with partner universities, companies and institutions, is proposing an innovative research to analyze the uncertainty of human behavior in the daily life of cities and industry to manage, change and influence, respectively, the tasks, behaviors and culture. Changing the behavior of the manager, the worker and the citizen will allow the cultural transformation around the challenges of reliability and energy efficiency after the change. It will be necessary to achieve a just culture in power to reduce CO2 emissions in the expected proportion of reversibility. The method aims to identify through the routine studies what are the cultural biases that prevent behavior change, according to the methodology of indicated tool of perception and intervention C4t to analyze the dynamic behavior. The tool involves communication, cooperation, commitment, and competence that undergo stress and enable building level 5 leadership. This project is composed of a multidisciplinary team that analyzes the discourse of the operators to the archetypes of the local culture.
Project IV - Analysis of Human Factors in the Society.
The purpose of this term is to develop technological solutions in the areas of: (1) Completion and Production Task analysis, (2) Reliability of Socio-technical Systems, (3) Human Factors analysis, Maintenance, RCM and Maintenance, (5) Materials Analysis and Corrosion, (6) Quantitative Risk Analysis.
Project V - Steered Reliability Centered Maintenance Study
In an attempt to strengthen undergraduate education through targeted studies, we have brought together graduate-led and industrial engineers to discuss reliability, maintenance and equipment cases and suggest improvements. This study is divided into three phases: concepts, modeling and applications. We are already in the second group and probably the PETROBRÁS production region will be a partner.
Project VI - Development of strategies to increase the Energy Efficiency of thermal systems in the industrial segment.
The main objective of this study is to present techniques capable of minimizing energy losses in thermal systems of the continuous process industry, favoring the reduction of production costs and the emission of greenhouse gases, notably CO2. The integration of the PEI - Industrial Engineering Program with the competences of the DEM - Department of Mechanical Engineering resulted in the identification of demands in minimization of energy losses. The methods applied to Bahia industries between the years 2014 and 2015 were discussed through SIs and CCWs. At the end of 2015, a cooperation agreement with RLAM with informal deployment was formalized in 2016 and formally implemented in 2017. A postgraduate course was built for launch in 2018, ADAE - Water and Energy Availability Analysis.
