APPLICATIONS OF IRON NANOPARTICLES
OPS
Fe nanoparticles and their applications
At Smallops we manufacture a product from a very characteristic residue in Mediterranean countries, such as vegetable water, which presents major problems due to its high phytotoxicity.
Gracias a nuestro método, aplicamos el HTC (Carbonización hidrotermal) para la producción de unas nanopartículas de Fe, las OPS, con hasta 6 aplicaciones medioambientales diferentes.
OPS is a non-toxic product that meets the requirements of circular economy, since both the raw materials used and the product are not toxic.

AREAS OF ACTION
APPLICATIONS OF IRON NANOPARTICLES (OPS) IN FOUR KEY SECTORS
Smallops product (OPS) offer different competitive advantages to different sectors, Smallops currently focuses on 4 main sectors.
Olive pomace: residue of the production of oil that is obtained from the centrifugation of the olive. At Smallops we value this waste by converting it into encapsulated iron nanoparticles and biogas.
Biogas clean energy whose main components are methane (CH4, between 50 to 70% vol.), carbon dioxide (CO2 between 30 to 50% vol.) and other components in smaller proportions.
Water treatment: 2,000 million tons of water are polluted daily due to waste. This not only affects the health of millions of people, but also affects marine ecosystems.
Biochar: is the solid product remaining after biomass is heated to temperatures typically between 300°C and 700°C under oxygen-free conditions.
