Thanks to our production method, we have managed to create a viable product for application in different industries.
OPS are iron nanoparticles encapsulated in carbon. These nanoparticles are created from a residue from olive oil production, vegetable water.
Learn more about OPS and the different applications of encapsulated nanoparticles:
When we talk about OPS, we’re talking about an innovative product. These carbon-encapsulated iron nanoparticles are obtained using vegetable water as a raw material, a waste whose treatment causes significant problems. By treating this waste, we create a product with up to 6 environmental applications, which directly involve the circular economy.
At Smallops, we are aware, from an environmental perspective, of the major challenges facing our society and the importance of supporting new environmentally sustainable developments, such as the development of new green energy sources like biogas, and this is where OPS come into play. We also understand that the coming years must focus on efficient water use and decontamination, and this is also where OPS can come into play.

OPS are produced using a hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) method. The production method for these encapsulated magnetic nanoparticles consists of heating a liquid with organic compounds in a closed container, thereby saving energy by avoiding evaporating its water content since as the temperature increases once it reaches its boiling point, more pressure begins to be generated because it is a closed container that continues to progressively increase its temperature.
In this way, carbon compounds are divided into smaller ones until, if any metal is found, it is reduced and carbon is deposited around it, forming carbon-encapsulated nanoparticles.
We develop nanotechnology solutions to improve the efficiency of converting waste into renewable energy, contributing to the decarbonization of the energy sector.
Accessible and sustainable nanotechnology to transform your waste into industrial and environmental solutions.
