Iran to Unveil New Generation of Nanobubble Technology for Wastewater Treatment

“This achievement can increase to more than double the capacity of urban wastewater treatment plants without the need for new infrastructure or increased energy consumption,” Mohammad Mehdi Esmayeeli said.

“At present, Iran is not in the position of reverse engineering, but in the position of developing nanobubble technology and is moving in step with leading countries like the US, Japan, South Korea and China in this area,” he added.

Esmayeeli announced that four approved knowledge-based companies in this field are present at the 16th Nano Exhibition due to be held in Tehran early November.

Nanobubble technology is used as a new solution to significantly reduce energy consumption in treatment plants, since this technology, by reducing electricity consumption by 50% in Iran, not only decreases costs, but also helps the country's electricity grid to remain stable.

Nanobubble technology, which has been developed in the world for less than 10 years, has now been indigenized in Iran by domestic experts and is used in various sectors of the country's water and wastewater industry.

Reports said in September that the Iran-made nanobubble generator system increased the capacity of Qeytariyeh water treatment plant in Tehran by three times and reduced energy consumption by 50% and investment costs by 40%.

Abbas Ali Mesrzadeh, the managing director of Tehran Wastewater Company, visited Qeytariyeh water treatment plant and the new nanobubble generator system.

The nanobubble generator system at Qeytariyeh wastewater treatment plant in Tehran is the result of continuous studies and efforts by a knowledge-based company and has been able to increase the treatment capacity of the plant by three times and at the same time reduce energy consumption by 50% and investment and operating costs by more than 40%.

During the visit, Aref Dadgostar, the managing director of the company, underlined the achievement of a new water purification method based on nanobubbles, emphasizing the ability of this technology to reduce energy consumption by 70% compared to conventional methods and significantly increase productivity.
