Iranian Researcher Makes Litter Incinerator to Generate Energy from Garbage

On the sidelines of the Asreh Omid Exhibition held by the Islamic Azad University in Tehran in late May,  Farham Aminshareyee, who presented the litter incinerator in the innovation section of the event, said, “The device was designed and implemented at an experimental level by myself, Hossein Abbas Tabar, Hamid and Maryam Montazer al-Qaem, Ali Saffar, who are the faculty members, and Seyed Amir Same, a student of renewable energy engineering at Islamic Azad University-Najaf Abad branch.”

“Iranian experts and craftsmen have been used to design and build this device, and even the anaerobic digester, which is the most expensive part of the device, has been designed and built by domestic experts. The business model used in the construction of this device is based on the FFBM model, which emphasizes the issue of technology and paying attention to flexible value networks,” he went on to say.

The head of the human environment research center and sustainable development of Islamic Azad University, Najafabad branch added that the cost of building the device is about 100 billion rials (Iranian currency), which can comprise an economic advantage considering costs such as diseases and waste collection. To provide capital, you can use various methods of providing capital, such as venture capitalists, accelerators, or industries interested in this field.

“With the help of professors and students of Najafabad unit and craftsmen, a green device with an ecological engineering approach was designed to produce energy from urban wet waste, which is capable of producing gas, electricity and fertilizer,” Aminshareyee added.

Explaining the importance of Asreh Omid national event, said, “I hope that Islamic Azad University, as a leading university in the era of innovation and technology, will move towards the fourth generation of university in its 40th year which is considered the age of maturity and evolution. The event can be named as the biggest start-up event in the country and can play an important role in development of ideas and solving the country's fundamental problems and present important knowledge-based products in this year."
