Turbine Oil Purification Filter Produced in Iran by Using Nanotechnology
‘Behin Palaye Sharif’ company has manufactured the product which is an eco-friendly cellulose nanofiber-modified depth filter used to efficiently remove the varnish from the turbine oil.
It enjoys sufficient resistance to both organic solvents and weak acids, providing a high absorbing capability.
The addition of nanofibers to the filter has led to improved ability in varnish removing and enhanced absorbing capability of contaminants.
The filter can be utilized for the removal of varnish from lubricant oils, hydraulic oils, gear oil, and transformer oil.
In a relevant development in April, an Iranian female researcher had also designed a filter to separate oil from water using nanotechnology which can be broadly used in different industries.
Elmira Velayee, who has a PhD in chemical engineering from the Tehran-based Iran University of Science and Technology and a master's degree in chemical engineering from Sahand University in Tabriz has planned to make a water and oil separator system using filters covered with nano coatings that has special wetness.
Regarding her motivation to pursue this technological project, she stated, “In many industries, a very high volume of oily waste is produced, which has become a common pollution in the world and is now considered a serious global concern.”
In addition, oil spill which usually takes place in sea transportation or oil production is an important problem for the marine environment and ecosystem, so separating and purifying water from oil pollution has been a challenging issue in recent years that requires ideas. and new scientific techniques, according to the researcher.
