Evaluation of microorganisms in tubings and pipelines is an important tool for the diagnosis and prevention of biocorrosion. One of the more representative groups of bacteria is anaerobic sulfate reduction bacteria (SRB). Damages caused by this microbiota may represent potential risks in oil transportation and storage tanks. IPT detects and Read more…
An important tool for evaluating occupational risks is monitoring the exposure of workers to chemical agents, indicating the need for intervention in the process to minimize contact and prevent occupational diseases or lesions. Monitoring in Brazil is regulated by the Department of Health and Safety of the Labor Ministry, by Read more…
Indicators serve to simplify technical and scientific information to enable its transmission in synthetic form, improving communication about complex phenomena. This facilitates the use of information by managers, politicians, interest groups and the general public. Indicators can be used for different applications that need continuous follow-up, particularly the implementation of Read more…
Studies to establish territorial planning and management instruments for land use and occupation apply to regional or municipal contexts and even pointwise purposes such as engineering works. The work performed by IPT includes geotechnical and environmental charts, municipal master plans and housing planning studies. These studies propose goals and actions Read more…
Digital georeferenced cartographic data is a dynamic tool for environmental management. The technology that enables this tool to be employed is geoprocessing using software and Geographic Information Systems (GIS), whereby information from a variety of sources can be integrated, including alphanumeric attributes and well defined locations on the earth’s surface. Read more…
IPT actively develops applied research to support strategic actions for management of water resources, mainly on the State level. We are represented on various Committees of River Basins and Technical Chambers and, as a Technical Agent, evaluate and follow up on projects financed by the State Fund for Water Resources Read more…
Antimicrobial properties can be incorporated into a variety of products for the following purposes: Increase the product’s service life by retarding or preventing the development of degrading microorganisms. Obtain safer products by preventing or retarding the development of microorganisms harmful to human health. To evaluate the presence of antimicrobial activity Read more…
Waste generated by companies and municipalities is subjected to a systemic control to comply with sustainability targets. Environmental management systems presuppose the establishment of criteria and procedures for the correct management of residues by means of plans and procedures that encompass waste generation, handling, treatment and value-adding to final destination. Read more…
Waste materials generated by industrial processes, mining and the extractive industry can cause serious environmental problems, which may sometimes prevent the granting of environmental permits and therefore the implementation of a productive unit. IPT develops chemical processes aimed at reducing the environmental impacts of such waste materials or revaluing them, Read more…
Industrial crystallization from solutions, castings or by precipitation is frequently employed as a separation and purification method, as well as in the synthesis of particulate products (powders) in the chemical, pharmaceutical, food and hydrometallurgical industries, among others. IPT has been working together with industry in this field for over 20 Read more…
