Iranian Researchers Produce High-Temperature Resistant Industrial Filters
“These filters, which are used in the cement, mining and power plant industries, are designed to purify the air entering the turbines and remove polluting particles from the environment,” Mohsen Mardani said.
Noting that in the mining and cement industries, high temperatures cause ordinary filters to burn, he said that the filters produced by specialists at Amirkabir University’s Academic Center for Education, Culture and Research are made of glass fibers with high thermal resistance, which allow air to pass through properly, prevent dust and suspend particles from passing through.
“Another product of our Center is glass meshes specifically for the construction industry. These meshes are used in walls and increase the tensile strength of the structure,” Mardani said.
In a relevant development in March, an Iranian technological company had managed to produce different types of special filters for application in various industries, including auto-making.
“Our company enjoys production line for metal filters and industrial filters that require a clean room. Nano filters are also produced in these controlled environments,” said Elnaz Barati, a technical and engineering expert at Setareh Palayeh company.
“The company operates in two sectors of product manufacturing and research and development (R&D), and in addition to automotive filters, it also produces a variety of industrial filters, including air, oil, and hydraulic filters. Semi-automatic production lines for automotive filters are another activity of our company,” she added.
“Our company also produces car cabin filters, some of which are nanotechnology-based and based on the electrospinning process. We are also able to make a variety of hydraulic systems, gas elements, iron, steel, and aluminum industry filters, and HEPA filters,”
