Nanotechnologies for Bosnia and Herzegovina
The most painful problems include lack of high-quality water and unsustainable power generation using mostly fossil fuels. (Analysis of the needs of the country)
- Population: 3,504,567
- Capital: Sarajevo
- Country rating according to OECD/DAC (GNP per capita): higher middle income country
How we can help
List of the smart city technologies best suited for Bosnia and Herzegovina. The full list of Czech smart city technologies is available here.
Water filtration
Water filtration (FN AQUA)
The FN® AQUA suspension with a patented formula contains mineral additives and a large quantity of photoactive titanium dioxide (TiO2) which is chemically identical to a food colouring – titanium white, a substance used extensively in food industry and cosmetics.
Pool nanofilter (ASTRAL POON)
Filter with a nanofiber cartridge for private pools up to 90 m3 ensuring high-quality filtration.
Energy storage and saving
Energy accumulators (HE3DA)
Accumulators for safe storage of large quantities of energy.
Nano optiqs (NANOPTIQS)
Micro- and nanostructured optics for conventional light sources and sensors. Micro- and nanostructured optics allows for production of light sources and sensors with extended abilities in directing the light cone, thus significantly improving the efficiency and reducing the cost of energy.
Industry and waste management
Food industry filtration (RIFTELEN)
The RIFTELEN® N15 membrane is designed for filtration of liquids in the food industry - in plate filters, sleeve filters, and folded “star” cartridges of various sizes and shapes. The RIFTELEN® N15 membrane currently offers various degrees of filtration capturing particles from 5 μm to 50 μm.
Consumption and emissions
Lowering fuel consumption (Envirox)
The RIFTELEN® N15 membrane is designed for filtration of liquids in the food industry - in plate filters, sleeve filters, and folded “star” cartridges of various sizes and shapes. The RIFTELEN® N15 membrane currently offers various degrees of filtration capturing particles from 5 μm to 50 μm.
Help during pandemic
Czech nanotechnology companies produce face masks, half masks, respirators and filters with nanofibre membrane. These products are extremely efficient in catching particles with size between 80 to 200 nm. That is an average size of virus.
