BrazFlow Labs is a petroleum-engineering consultancy that combines experimental flow assurance, CFD simulation and applied research to help oil & gas companies analyze, protect and optimize their systems.
Batch-reactor testing of scaling, inhibitors and candidate materials.
Flow analysis and optimization of valves and engineering equipment.
Engineering projects, technical support and applied research.
What we do
An experimental, hands-on approach to flow assurance and petroleum engineering — backed by computational modeling and research.
Lab-based assessment of flow-integrity risks in oil & gas systems, with a focus on inorganic scaling and mitigation strategies.
Scaling experimentation in batch reactors: testing of materials against scale, evaluation of scale inhibitors and scaling-tendency analysis.
Screening and performance evaluation of scale inhibitors and materials under controlled, reproducible laboratory conditions.
Computational fluid dynamics of valves and engineering equipment, focused on flow analysis and performance optimization.
Petroleum-engineering projects and technical support for companies across the oil & gas sector.
Research in petroleum and flow engineering, bridging academic knowledge and real industrial challenges.
Who we are
BrazFlow Labs is a Brazilian petroleum-engineering consultancy formed by students, former students and professors with broad experience in flow assurance and fluid engineering.
We support oil & gas companies through engineering projects, technical assistance and applied research — pairing hands-on experimentation with computational modeling to turn uncertainty into evidence-based decisions.
BrazFlow Labs is currently undergoing incubation at UFES — Federal University of Espírito Santo, within the university's innovation and entrepreneurship program, keeping our work closely connected to leading-edge academic research.
How we work
A workflow that connects laboratory experimentation, physical modeling and CFD to deliver reliable results.
We review fluid, production and operating data to scope the flow-assurance risk.
Batch-reactor tests for scaling, inhibitors and materials under controlled conditions.
Simulation of valves, equipment and flow to explore scenarios and sensitivities.
Actionable mitigation and optimization plans, with clear engineering metrics.
