Iran-Made Nano Filter Removes 650 Types of Bacteria from Water
These nanotechnology-based filters have antibacterial properties and play an effective role in removing harmful microorganisms like Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.
Resistant polymer materials containing nano masterbatch have been used in the filter body and sealing gaskets that prevent the growth of bacteria on surfaces.
Removing chlorine from water may provide a breeding ground for bacteria, which is why using nanotechnology to prevent the proliferation of these pathogens is considered a smart and efficient alternative to traditional disinfection processes such as UV radiation.
Special nanoparticles have been used in these filters that enjoy the ability to destroy over 650 types of bacteria, while maintaining the quality and taste of water and they help reduce maintenance costs by increasing the lifespan of other components of the device like membranes, pumps and solenoid valves.
Other advantages of these products include complete compatibility with the environment, reduced wastewater, usability in household and semi-industrial devices, and stable performance in various conditions.
In a relevant development in 2023, researchers of an Iranian knowledge-based company had also succeeded in designing and developing a highly efficient leachate nanofilter.
“I have not seen a company that has offered a similar product to our customers, of course there are some products like reverse osmosis devices and water softeners that are produced in a number of companies, but they are not able to perform separation, processing, or purification of industrial and complex wastewaters by using membranes,” said Sina Maleki, the founder of the knowledge-based company.
“It took almost 10 years to pave this path. At first, we focused on production of membranes, and then made specialized membranes, and now we also provide services to large factories,” he added.
“Our product and a US-made sample were tested by a costumer in the same time. The consumer preferred to approve our product based on engineering data,” Maleki said.
