• Review of Material Deterioration Mechanisms: we will recapitulate the main processes of degradation of the materials used in the equipment and structures of industrial units, with a focus on the structural integrity of the analyzed components;

• Non-Destructive Testing Techniques and damage monitoring: We will discuss the main non-destructive testing techniques used in the detection and dimensioning of defects in the analyzed components, which will allow an assessment of remaining life and the establishment of actions to correct or prevent damage;

• Non-Destructive Testing Techniques and Data Digitization Applicable to Drones: We will focus on Non-Destructive Testing techniques applicable to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), focusing on techniques that can be loaded onto vehicles accessible in the domestic market, and qualified for inspection tasks;

• Treatment of inspection data and reporting: We will address the process of collecting, interpreting, analyzing and selecting relevant data for the accurate diagnosis of the inspection of the component to be evaluated, meeting the design requirements for each industrial unit;

• Normative aspects of industrial inspection by drones: we will carry out a verification of the framework of the Standards used in the usual NDT processes and their particularities when applicable in the inspection by drones;

• Certification Process for Inspectors Using Drones: Finally, we will talk about the personnel certification process for conventional Non-Destructive Testing and the specifics when inspections are carried out using drones.

Byron Souza Filho, Ms.C.

Byron Souza Filho is a Metallurgical Engineer from UFRJ in 1986; Specialist in O&G Equipment Engineering, by Petrobras in 1988; Master of Science from UFRJ/COPPE/PEMM in 2001, in Fracture Mechanics; Specialist in Natural Gas Technologies, by UFRN and UNP; Specialist in Biogas and Biomethane Technologies, by CIBiogas in 2020; currently pursuing a PhD at UFRJ/COPPE/PEMM, in the field of electromagnetic NDTs.

He worked for 33 years at Petrobras, having worked as a Maintenance and Inspection Engineer of equipment and structures at an Oil and Gas Unit; for 15 years he worked as a Senior Consultant in Pipeline Maintenance and Inspection; and retired when he was in the position of Equipment Inspection Technologies Manager.

Also at Petrobras, he worked as an internal instructor in the disciplines of Material Selection, Welding, Maintenance and Inspection of Equipment, and as a visiting professor, in several teaching institutes, including: UFF, PUC-Rio, IBP, Senai-RJ CTSold and FAETEC, in the same subjects.

Since his retirement from Petrobras, in Jan/2020, he has worked as an independent consultant in equipment inspection and structural integrity studies of equipment and structures for the industry in general.

Felipe Calixto Reis

He is an officer in the Brazilian Army, entrepreneur and founder of ITARC, graduated from Universidade Gama Filho in 2012 in industrial automation; and Specialist in Unmanned Aerial Systems Project Management, from Unmanned Vehicle University in 2014.

After 9 years in the Armed Forces, he started the project that gave rise to the Institute of Remotely Controlled Aeronautical Technology - ITARC, in which he has been acting for 10 years as CEO, developing methodologies and training content for the professional market of Unmanned Aerial Systems. Along with the Institute's missions, he worked for 03 years as a professor at PUC/PR in the Specialization Course, Drones and RPAS in Civil and Commercial Applications, the first postgraduate degree in the country that dealt with the subject, being responsible for the disciplines of Drone Operations and Embedded systems.

Since 2013, in addition to leading the development of pedagogical processes by ITARC, he also coordinates courses in Safety Operation with RPAS, Maintenance, Piloting and Operation, Legislation (ICA, Entrepreneurship, Embedded Systems and Telemetry Fundamentals).
