Iran-Made Nano-Based Cellulose Air Filters Used in Power Plants

‘Azad Filter’ and ‘Behran Filter’ companies have produced the efficient air filter based on a cellulose or synthetic textile which is coated by polymeric nanofibers.

The coating of nanofibers on the cellulose or synthetic textile has improved filtration efficiency, prolonged working lifetime of the filter and increased dust absorption efficacy with no drop in pressure of passing air.

The air filters can be used in gas turbines of power plants and for filtration of floating dust in the inlet air of facilities.

Earlier this year, Iranian researchers at a technological company had also managed to develop filters by using plasma technology capable of purifying the air by 99 percent.

In addition to removing air pollution, the filter can eliminate up to 99 percent of viruses and microbes.

The research focuses on one of the applications of cold plasma, a partially ionized gas comprising ions, electrons, ultraviolet photons, and reactive neutrals such as radicals, excited and ground-state molecules.

A cold plasma air purifier is a device that significantly reduces harmful gases that contaminate the air.

This type of purifier is able to break down these dangerous contaminants into harmless molecules, making the air much safer to breathe.

Additionally, cold plasma air purifiers are very effective at removing dust, pollen, and other allergens from the air, making them an excellent choice for people who suffer from allergies or asthma.
