Iran-Developed Nanobubble Technology Decreases Power Consumption up to 60%
An Iranian knowledge-based company managed to design and develop nanobubble-producing devices for different gases, including air, oxygen, ozone, chlorine, nitrogen and carbon dioxide. For instance, one of the equipment produced by the company for wastewater treatment has been installed in Qeytarieh treatment plant in Northern Tehran.
It is worth to say that by using the nanobubble technology a 30%-60% reduction in power consumption, a 10%-20% reduction in initial investment and a 40%-60% reduction in investment has been witnessed in utilization process.
Nanobubble producing devices can inject gas into the liquid with a very high efficiency using a special two-stage transfer process. The devices significantly increase gas transfer capacity compared to common equipment and highly boost the efficiency of aeration, ozonation and chlorination units and in the meantime reduce investment and utalization costs as well as energy consumption in water and sewage treatment plants.
A new international study released in May on the countries' achievements in production of nanoscience has shown that Iran ranks fifth in the world in this field.
Sattari said at the time that the study compares countries and science and tech institutes based on a new indicator, which is “focusing on the emerging areas of technology”.
Based on the study, Iran not only ranks fifth in the world in terms of producing nanoscience, but it has given the highest level focus to the most emerging and most advanced fields of science and technology, along with four other advanced states, he added.
