Iranian Experts Manufacture Housing of Water Purifier with High Pressure Tolerance
“We are the first manufacturer of steel housing in Iran which is resistant to rust and corrosion and can withstand the pressure 10 time more than other housings,” Milad Pasban, the managing director of the technological ‘Abyaran Bijan Yord Dirpa’ company stationed at the incubator center of Islamic Azad University’s Bojnourd branch, told ANA.
“The housing of the water purifier, which is mostly used in agricultural pools and for household applications and is used as pre-treatment, enjoys the capability to separate suspended particles in water up to five microns, and in the field of industry, it is able to purify 6,000 liters of water per hour,” he added.
Pasban underlined that all parts and stages of making the housing of water purification device have been indigenized, noting that in this housing, the amount of flow is higher, the material is more resistant, and in terms of price, it has a lower price compared to foreign counterparts.
In a relevant development earlier this year, the researchers at Amirkabir University of Technology (AUT) developed a new method to remove heavy metals from produced wastewater in oilfields with high salt using the Electrocoagulation (EC).
Mahdieh Mehri, an AUT graduate and the executive director of the project entitled "Removal of heavy metals from the produced water in oilfields with high salt using the electrocoagulation method (EC)", told Iranian media that as far as she knows the EC method has not been used in removing heavy metals in wastewater from the oil and gas industry so their project is a brand new start.
According to her, the findings of their research show that using the EC method makes it possible to desalinate the wastewater in oil fields.
She also said that the wastewater produced in oilfields is contaminated with organic pollutants and various heavy metals that can be separated using the EC in an efficient way.
The AUT researcher further said that purified water obtained after desalination can be used for various purposes, such as agricultural irrigation or as firefighting water, adding, "This water can also be injected into wells without causing harm to environment."
