Developments for the Oil and Gas sector

shutterstock_1567806448

We are one of the few companies in Brazil that have expertise in offering biotechnological solutions for the Oil and Gas sector. We develop projects for the evaluation and remediation of biocorrosion caused by sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB). The company has almost a decade of experience and great expertise for detection, characterization and control of bacteria involved in biocorrosion in different matrices, such as oil and process water.

Research and Development

With roots at the Federal University of Viçosa, research and development are part of Microbiotec’s DNA. The team of researchers developed some impactful solutions, such as antigens for Dengue virus, Chikungunya and Sars-Cov-2. Antigen and vaccine development are high technology services that Microbiotec offers, as well, with technology transfer.
