Iranian Experts Launch 1st Specialized Mini-Pilot Processing System in Yazd

“The plan to launch the first specialized processing mini-pilot system was put into operation with the support of Yazd Science and Technology Park and the cooperation of two knowledge-based companies,” Navid Nasirizadeh, a professor and faculty member of Islamic Azad University’s Yazd branch, told ANA.

“The launch of this center is a practical response to the pre-industrial infrastructure gap in the province. This center shortens and smoothes the path from a laboratory idea to a commercial product for technology companies and startups.

The center, which operates as an advanced manufacturing workshop or specialized Fab Lab, is equipped with advanced laboratory and semi-industrial equipment,” he added.

“These facilities enable research and development projects, prototyping, process optimization, and even semi-industrial scale production in the fields of pharmaceutical and biological supplement production, development of natural-based agricultural products, and design and production of biotechnological raw materials,” Nasirizadeh said.

In a relevant development in July, Rouhollah Dehghani Firouzabadi, Iran’s Vice-President for Science, Technology and Knowledge-Based Economy, had also inaugurated processing steel mill dusts unit developed by a domestic knowledge-based company at the Mobarakeh Steel Company in Isfahan Province.

In a ceremony in the presence of the scientific vice president Rouhollah Dehghani Firouzabadi, a processing steel mill dusts unit was opened at the Mobarakeh Steel Company in Isfahan Province.

With inauguration of the project, the ground is laid for the annual reconstruction of 25,000 tons of material transport charge dust through granulation.

The granulation process is used in practice for the consolidation (pelleting) of iron ore and non- ferrous metals, coal dust, and mineral raw.

The project was developed and launched by a domestic knowledge-based company.
