WANA (Oct 31) – An Iranian knowledge-based company has successfully localized ceramic liners with high resistance to corrosion and abrasion, suitable for use in various industries, including power generation (wind turbines, etc.), mining, and petrochemicals.

 

Seyed Ahmad Sharifnia, CEO of the company, explained that their expertise lies in producing optical and non-optical ceramic nanopowders, magnetic ceramic nanopowders, granulating ceramic powders like aluminum oxide, shaping ceramic powders, and sintering ceramic nanopowders.

 

He added, “By integrating these areas, the company offers comprehensive solutions in advanced ceramics for government organizations, private companies, and individuals.”

 

Sharifnia highlighted that ceramic liners, one of the company’s flagship products, are designed to withstand high stress, essential for their durability in demanding environments. The liners’ dense, pore-free structure enhances their mechanical properties, improving strength and durability.

 

With prior experience in transparent ceramics and the ability to synthesize nanoparticles with desired properties, Sharifnia noted that the company has developed cost-effective, dense ceramic liners with excellent mechanical and chemical characteristics.

 

While production is on a custom order basis, the company currently supplies liners to major clients, including Mobarakeh Steel and Zob Ahan, and faces no production capacity limitations.

 

Though the company has yet to achieve exports, it has participated in trade exhibitions in Iraq and Turkey and anticipates signing significant contracts.

 

Sharifnia emphasized that the ceramic liners outperform foreign alternatives in lifespan, strength, and abrasion resistance, with additional advantages such as ease of replacement and after-sales services. Previously, plastic liners were imported from Germany and Russia, but today they are produced locally in Na’in.

 

The ceramic liners provide 30-40% cost savings compared to similar foreign products, and clients avoid the financial strain of capital-intensive imports. Sharifnia noted that the production of these ceramic liners has also created jobs, with six people now employed in their manufacturing.
