Iran to Unveil New Generation of Nanobubble Technology
WANA (Oct 28) – Iran is preparing to unveil a new generation of nanobubble technology aimed at boosting wastewater treatment efficiency, according to Mohammad-Mehdi Esmaeili, Program Director for Nanobubble Technology Development at the Vice Presidency for Science and Technology.
Speaking ahead of the 16th International Nanotechnology Exhibition, Esmaeili highlighted Iran’s rapid progress in developing and localizing nanobubble technology, emphasizing its growing role in improving productivity across water, wastewater, agriculture, and aquaculture industries.
He noted that the forthcoming innovation could more than double the capacity of urban wastewater treatment plants—without requiring additional infrastructure or higher energy consumption.
“Iran is no longer in the phase of reverse engineering; we are now a developer of nanobubble technology, advancing alongside global leaders such as the United States, Japan, South Korea, and China,” Esmaeili stated.
Iran’s Nano Bubble Tech: Challenges to Opportunities
WANA (July 24) – Nanobubble technology, a fantastic innovation in science, has taken a big step in solving various challenges in various industries and fields. Currently, only three countries produce nanobubbles, including Japan, Iran, and America. Iran has 13 active companies at different levels in the field of nanobubbles. Nanobubbles are gas-filled bubbles within […]
According to Esmaeili, 10 Iranian knowledge-based companies have achieved the capability to produce nanobubbles, with seven certified by the National Nanotechnology Headquarters.
He added that over the past decade, Iran has shifted from technology import to domestic innovation, now actively applying nanobubbles across multiple industries — from water treatment and agriculture to aquaculture and environmental applications — leading to improved efficiency, lower operational costs, and greater sustainability.
“Iranian firms have even surpassed some advanced countries in wastewater treatment performance by optimizing aeration and purification through nanobubble systems,” Esmaeili said.
Inviting experts and industry representatives to attend the exhibition, scheduled for November 2–5, he announced that a new level of nanobubble technology will be formally unveiled during the event, potentially opening a new chapter in the industrial use of this innovative technology in Iran.
