Greenhouse Gases (GHG), Projects

Project: “Intelligent Labyrinth Seals Project for Mitigation of GHG emissions in pneumatic machines (compressors and turbines)”

Type of Research: Applied Research.

Research goal: Integrate Metallic Ionic Polymer Composites (CMPIs) in the Labyrinth Seal (SL) project, creating the concept of smart SL with the aim of reducing greenhouse gas emissions (CH4 and CO2) in pneumatic machines as much as possible.

Partnership and financing: Shell Brasil.
