Iranian Nanotechnology Company Makes Nanofibers on Industrial Scale
Nader Naderi, the managing director of Fanavaran Nanomeqyas company, elaborated on the company's production of nanofibers, saying, “The industrial production line of nanofiber (INFL6100B) and polymer/ceramic nanofiber on an industrial scale for various applications has 1 to 8 electrospinning units based on customer’s needs.”
“The electrospinning parameters and conditions like spinner and collector settings, electrospinning distance, linear speed of the used substrate, temperature and operating time of the device in the nanofiber industrial production line, can be controlled and adjusted by using an integrated advanced control system,” Naderi added.
Earlier this year, an Iranian knowledge-based company had used nanofibers to make filters for industrial units, specially power plants, last longer.
Nanofiber filters possess a handful of advantages over conventional fibers.
Nanofiber filters tend to have very high filtration efficiency. They require less energy for the air to ventilate through them.
Moreover, they are cost-efficient as they last longer and do not need higher-powered ventilation systems for circulating air.
The industrial and power plant filters produced in an Iranian knowledge-based company have features such as better protection of turbine parts, reduction of downtime costs, an increase of power generation capacity, and an increase of filter life to at least 1.5 times.
