Iranian Experts Develop Smart Modeling of Olefin Furnaces
“In an active industrial project, I am currently working on intelligent modeling and optimizing the behavior of gas-feed and liquid-feed furnaces in the olefin unit of Jam Petrochemical Company, and the results of this industrial project can reduce the company's dependence on similar foreign software and save the company's foreign exchange resources,” Behzad Vaferi told ANA.
“My research focuses mainly on the application of different artificial intelligence methods in modeling and optimizing chemical processes, the environment, water and wastewater treatment, food and pharmaceutical industries, nanotechnology, and enhanced oil recovery. So far, the most important results of my research have been published in 91 articles in prestigious international journals,” he added.
“In the last three years (2023, 2024, and 2025), I have been selected as one of the top two percent scientists in the world, as ranked by Elsevier and a team from Stanford University,” Vaferi said.
In a relevant development in June, an Iranian company had managed to produce a solar furnace which can generate electricity for industries.
“The main field of our company's activities is the designing, manufacturing, installation and commissioning of solar furnace generators to supply electricity to residential, commercial, industrial and even agricultural units,” Saeed Ashkesh, the managing director of the company, told ANA.
“Our company's product is solar furnace thermal generator installations with production capacities between 10 and 500 kilowatts per hour 24 hours a day with the help of a combined cycle of gas and solar energy,” he added.
Ashkesh explained that the continued production of electricity around the clock, the absence of the need for batteries to store energy, and the production of more electricity relative to the space used compared to solar panels are the advantages of the solar furnace.
