“This device was produced with the aim of disinfecting the air and water through an advanced oxidation method to reduce the existing pollutants, and it is capable of eliminating pollutants like viruses, fungi, bacteria, algae, and protozoa like giardia lamblia and cryptosporidium organisms, and infectious diseases to improve the quality of drinking and agricultural water,” Shadi Aziziha, the managing director of the knowledge-based company, told ANA.
Noting that the device was made for the purpose of cleaning and decolorizing the wastewater in houses and various industries, she added, "Korona discharge technology was used in production of the device which produces the highest percentage of ozone. Also, the high frequency and high voltage system has been used in this device.”
“The ozone generator can be used in houses and different industries for various purposes, including disinfection of dried fruit, petrochemical industry, wastewater treatment, pharmaceutical industry, purification and disinfection of water, deodorization of the environment, sewage treatment plants and disinfection of the water used in the livestock and poultry farms, textile industries (dye removal and COD reduction), flour and bread industries, wheat disinfection and flour bleaching, fisheries industry, water disinfection and reduction of microbial load, air disinfection and sterilization of medical and treatment centers and agricultural industries,” Aziziha said.
In a relevant development in June, another knowledge-based company in Iran had also managed to design and manufacture an ozone generator device that can be applied in smart greenhouses to increase plants’ growth and control pests.
“Our company works in the field of spectroscopic identification of different types of light with micro-spectrophotometer and mini-spectrometer devices, which work to identify color and light wavelengths,” Maryam Bahreini, the managing director of the knowledge-based company, told ANA.
“This device has many uses in the laboratory sector (chemistry laboratory and materials laboratory) and research, and can also be used in smart greenhouses,” she added.
“Our device is used in areas of smart greenhouses and artificial lighting, which requires measuring the wavelength of light, because in these greenhouses we need to know the wavelengths,” Bahreini said.
“In the field of plasma, we have two products of the plasma-activated water device and the ozone production device, both of which are clearly used in agriculture,” she stated
“Plasma activated water can be utilized to irrigate plants and leads to fertilization, pest control and increase in plant growth.
