Iranian Firm Launches Nano-Based Treatment Plant in Protein Factory
“An Iranian knowledge-based company succeeded in treating industrial wastewater with nanobubbles. Since we were facing this problem, we negotiated with them to use the technology,” said Abolfazl Yahya, the managing director of the protein products factory.
Also, Abbas Kashanchi, the technical director of the knowledge-based company that produces the system explained that when the nanobubbles enter the wastewater, they collapse and give their energy to the wastewater. This energy causes the separation of fats and the breakdown of macromolecules.
“In the mechanical degreasing section, these nanobubbles cause the fat particles that are stuck together to come to the surface of the water, and therefore, these clots and fats can be easily separated,” said Vida Sabzevari, the executive manager of the knowledge-based company.
“Several different nano technologies have been used in this wastewater treatment system,” she added.
Also, Mehdi Etemadi, the managing director of the knowledge-based company explained that in this system, nano-epoxies have been used to design tanks that have a long lifespan, adding that nano-ozone technology has also been used in this device to minimize microbial contamination.
In a relevant development in April, the managing director of an Iranian knowledge-based company active in the field of nanotechnology had also said that the company’s experts had applied a nanobubble system for the agricultural and aquatic industries.
“We produce and commercialize the nanobubble system which settles one of the most important challenges of industries involved with gas and fluids. Some industries deal with mixing gas in liquids, for which the nanobubble system can be a solution,” said Aref Dadgostar.
He explained that in the field of agriculture, the company’s focus is on greenhouse irrigation, where they can increase the amount of oxygen in the irrigation water with the nanobubble system which improves the root structure, adding that the absorption of nutrients by the root is higher with this method and the plant will grow more efficiently quantitatively and qualitatively.
“In the aquatic sector, we can inject oxygen into water with the highest efficiency with this system and distribute oxygen throughout the pool; therefore, the fish do not have the stress of absorbing oxygen in the water and have a better life in the pool which will increase the production three times,” Dadgostar said.
