Iranian Company Finds New Method to Treat Industrial Wastewater
“We were able to make an industrial wastewater treatment device in our company which does not need filters,” Amin Afshar, the director of the research and development department of the knowledge-based company, told ANA.
“In this innovative method no filter is used and only microwave, ultrasonic and UV technologies are used and the device can be used endlessly until it breaks,” he added.
Afshar explained that when the water is discharged it absorbs pollution and after that when the water is charged, it no longer absorbs pollution, adding that the ions in the water turn into elements and are deposited, and therefore, no filter is needed.
“If you inject 10 liters of water, the device returns the whole of it fully purified and only gives out solid particles as dry matter,” he noted.
Also, in January, specialists of a knowledge-based company in Iran had taken an important step towards protecting the environment by producing a system for neutralizing and treating hazardous industrial wastewater.
“This product is a system for purifying and neutralizing used caustic which has an important and vital application in the oil and petrochemical industries,” said Ali Pour Khalil, the managing director of the knowledge-based company.
Noting that his company is active in manufacturing membrane systems for degassing and water gasification with the aim of producing high-quality water and wastewater treatment for various industries in Iran, he said that in its latest research, the company has succeeded in making the caustic wastewater neutralization system.
Pour Khalil stated that the used caustic is one of the most hazardous parts of the effluents of the refining and petrochemical industries with the highest degree of pollution, adding, “In this treatment method, nanocomposite membranes are used. The input of this device is wastewater that has a strong base, and when this wastewater enters the device, first the neutralization process is implemented and its pH reaches the pH of pollution-free water, and then the process of removing pollutants dissolved in the wastewater like TDS and COD starts.”
