TEHRAN (ANA)- Iranian researchers at a knowledge-based company designed a mobile garbage incinerator that quickly collects and destroys the garbage while moving in streets and roads.
“The product is a mobile garbage incinerator that can move across cities and even the coastal strip and destroy the garbage on the way by using plasma technology,” said Ali Movahhedi, the managing director of the knowledge-based company.
“This device does not cause any environmental problems due to its plasma torches which causes the molecular breakdown of waste and turns it into hydrogen gas by the direct electricity it receives. The produced gas is also burnt by the second burner of the device and finally no pollutant remains,” he added.
Noting that certain countries like Russia and Canada are in possession of such mobile incinerators, Movahhedi said, “Hospital waste, including infectious waste, pathological waste, sharp objects, pharmaceutical waste, chemical waste, radioactive waste, etc., are highly dangerous to people's health and the environment, and their burial can cause water, soil and air pollution, and a mobile garbage incinerator can dispose all of these wastes easily.”
In a relevant development last November, Head of Tehran-based Human Environment and Sustainable Development Research Center said they have developed a device which can be used at home to produce energy from litter.
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.
