WANA (Nov 03) – The head of Amirkabir Jihad University announced the successful development of high-temperature resistant industrial filters designed for use in cement, mining, and power plant industries. These filters aim to purify air entering turbines and remove environmental pollutants.

 

Mohsen Mardani, President of Amirkabir Jihad University, speaking at a three-day exhibition of scientific and technological achievements held at Iran’s Plan and Budget Organization, said the university showcased several of its innovative products at the event.

 

High-Temperature Resistant Filters for Heavy Industries

“One of our key achievements presented at the exhibition is the production of high-temperature industrial filters,” Mardani stated. “In cement and mining industries, ordinary filters tend to burn due to intense heat. Our newly developed filters, made from heat-resistant glass fibers, ensure effective air passage while preventing dust and particulate matter from entering.”

 

He added that most industrial filters used in Iran are imported and costly in foreign currency. “Amirkabir Jihad University is the first institution to domestically produce these filters, aiming to localize the technology and reduce foreign dependency in cement, power generation, and mining sectors,” Mardani said.

 

Localization of Glass Mesh for the Construction Industry

Highlighting another achievement, Mardani noted that the university has also developed specialized glass meshes for the construction sector. “These meshes are used in walls to enhance tensile strength. They are made of glass fibers produced at our specialized complex and are coated with alkali-resistant material to maintain durability and structural integrity,” he explained.

 

Thousands of square meters of this product are now produced daily and supplied to the domestic market.

 

Expansion into Polymer Technology

Mardani also outlined future plans, saying that alongside expanding the production line for industrial filters, the organization has entered the field of polymer technology and is working on designing and manufacturing industrial polymer diaphragms used in valves.

 

“These components are currently fully imported and widely used across industries. Our goal is to complete the research phase and establish a dedicated polymer research group to produce them domestically,” he said.

 

Toward Industrial Self-Sufficiency through Local Innovation

Mardani emphasized that all these projects align with Jihad University’s broader policy of advancing indigenous technologies and reducing reliance on foreign products. “With support from relevant institutions, we hope to move these innovations toward full commercialization,” he concluded.
