The Bioengineering Branch of the State Academy of Sciences has developed a technology for purifying water using a biological method and introduced it in different parts of the country.

The researchers made a micro eco-medicine for water treatment suited to the specific conditions of the country.

“The micro eco-medicine for water treatment removes ammonia, nitrous acid, hydrogen sulfide, heavy metals and other pollutants, inhibits the development of germs and eliminates unpleasant smells,” said researcher O Jin Wi.

It is capable of purifying all water including freshwater, sea water, tap water and wastewater, irrespective of temperature and environmental conditions, and the duration of purifying effect is more than six to twelve months.

If it is used in the treatment of tap water, it does not require chemical flocculants and, if used for wastewater, it can turn wastewater into tap water or drinking water at a high rate of purification.

When applied to fish farms, it can help raise the survival rate of fry without the need for a water circulator and oxygen filler and increase the efficiency of the water recycling system by more than three times.

The micro eco-medicine can also be applied to hydroponic cultivation using natural organic nutrient solutions in greenhouses by taking advantage of its characteristic of preventing water from becoming foul and plant roots from rotting. 

It is used not only to purify water but also to remove harmful microorganisms that propagate in soil.

A clean atmosphere is maintained in the riding courses and training grounds of the Mirim Riding Club thanks to the application of the micro eco-medicine.

The researchers are intensifying research efforts after setting a higher goal, while introducing the water purification technology on an expansion basis.
