Nano-Based Air Filters for Power Plants Produced in Iran
Specialists at ‘Nano Fanavaran Khavar’, ‘Azad Filter’, and ‘Behran Filter’ companies have made the electrospun nanofibers-containing filters used in power plants to protect equipment against the contaminants.
The nanofibers can entirely cover the surface of the filter, leading to a longer filter service lifetime.
The incorporation of nanofibers into the filters has resulted in improved filtering efficiency and prolonged service time.
Earlier this year, an Iranian knowledge-based company had also used nanofibers to make filters for industrial units, specially power plants, last longer.
Nanofiber filters possess a handful of advantages over conventional fibers.
Nanofiber filters tend to have very high filtration efficiency. They require less energy for the air to ventilate through them.
Moreover, they are cost-efficient as they last longer and do not need higher-powered ventilation systems for circulating air.
The industrial and power plant filters produced in an Iranian knowledge-based company have features such as better protection of turbine parts, reduction of downtime costs, an increase of power generation capacity, and an increase of filter life to at least 1.5 times.
The company has been exporting the filters to Iraq and Afghanistan over the past two years.
