One of our pillars is to develop research projects in the areas of petroleum and energy, which have both scientific and academic imprints, while generating solutions to practical and real-world problems faced by the industry. These aspects foster our human resources, strengthening the team and its relationship with the industry.

With large and small-scale projects spread all over the 1000 m² of available area, the interaction between the laboratories at ALFA – LABPETRO (Experimental Lab of Petroleum Prof. Kelsen Valente) and LGE (Flow Assurance Lab) – provides indispensable fundamentals for the research and enables the analysis and understanding of diverse phenomena. For this, we rely on the diversity of our team’s technical staff, composed of chemists, engineers, researchers, professors, technicians, Ph.D., M.Sc., and undergraduate students.

ALFA is part of the Center for Petroleum Studies (CEPETRO) and the Department of Energy of the School of Mechanical Engineering, both at UNICAMP, but we also rely on the contribution of several professors and researchers from other Institutes, Schools and Research Centers from Unicamp, as well as Partner institutions.
