Iranian researchers have developed nanotechnology-based filters for removing varnish from turbine oil in power plants and reducing maintenance costs, managing director of Behin Palaye Sharif Company in Khorasan Razavi's Science and Technology Park said.
“Deep cellulose filters are currently used for purifying turbine oil at Ferdowsi Power Plant in Mashhad, Khorasan Razavi Province, Shahid Rajaee Combined-Cycle Power Plant in Qazvin Province and Shazand Power Station in the central city of Arak, Markazi Province,” Amin Farzadfar was also quoted as saying by ISNA.
Drawing a parallel between the new product and old filters, Farzadfar noted that the newly-manufactured nano filters can remove particles as small as 0.4 micron whereas the old filters could only absorb particles bigger than 3 microns.
