 To enhance co-operation and innovation
oriented research in area of material
efficiency and make us aim enough high
Inside University
Between Oulu area R&D units
Between companies
Especially SME companies
More research cooperation inside
Finland and European Union
Coordinating co-operation
SMARTPro2 as an example
CASE SYMPEL –project
Symbiosis Pellet Expands Ecology - Granulation and Utilisation of New Eco-innovative Industrial By-products
NEED:
• Bigger and mobile units are needed to get byproducts in pellet form as needed to be able to
achieve amounts Directive 2006/12/EC
• More flexibility to production unit and security for
investment done by SMEs on service business
• More flexibility to product variety needs
• More materials to be used in new utilisation
model
• Better fertilizers, nutrients from waste water
• Light stone material needed for several purposes
NEED:
•
Bigger and mobile units are needed to get by-products
in pellet form as needed to be able to achieve
amounts Directive 2006/12/EC
•
More flexibility to production unit and security for
investment done by SMEs on service business
•
More flexibility to product variety needs
•
More materials to be used in new utilisation model
•
Better fertilizers, nutrients from waste water
•
Light stone material needed for several purposes
APPROACH:
•
Mobile, flexible (more silos and dosing equipment)
and bigger units, with more variation possibilities in
products
•
Long time research for this area from research
Institutes and universities making testing
•
Several laboratory and field testing
•
Marketing benefits from LCA analysis and results are
from liable source, also articles.
•
Second generation products, more value
BENEFITS:
•
Products are economically clearly cheaper than
competing products
•
Unit size will be almost maximum after this project, no
need in future to became bigger
•
Less logistic and costs
•
Bigger units means more R&D professionals inside
SMEs, normally experts are outside SMEs, in future
have to hire more own R&D people to handle several
difficult details
•
Solves partly sustainable use of phosphorus
COMPETITION:
•
There is no large and mobile granulation units
currently available in the market.
•
Bigger size is needed to make it economical, and
massive testing is needed to make enough demand
for this change
•
Needs are the same in Europe and this will
demonstrate benefits for even bigger units
•
This will make enough cap between prices of byproduct based and from primary raw material based
products – markets will bloom
Participants from Oulu University
Prof. Timo Fabritius (Head of Laboratory of Process Metallurgy professor since 2010) His research activity has focused on
the reduction and refining metallurgy, coke research and utilization of waste materials (dusts, sludges and slags) produced in the
metallurgical industry. The research has been largely technology-oriented with emphasis on fundamental research in the area of
the microstructure of metallurgical materials. He has published about totally 80 scientific journal articles and conference papers.
Dr. Pekka Tervonen, (Director of CEE) has over 15 years work experience regarding ESSQ-management in steel industry.
Tervonen has published twenty scientific articles and controlled over twenty theses. He has been responsible for the dozens of
international ESSQ-projects.
Juha Roininen, M.Sc. (Metallurgy), is a project coordinator for CEE. He is also an expert for industrial waste materials and
process efficiency issues, with over 15 years of work experience in steel industry. He has lead several successful process
development projects in metallurgical industry and also a co-author of one patent application for more efficient processing of
energy intensive process in steelmaking.
Prof. Kauko Kujala (Professor in Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering, Department in Process and Environmental Engineering)
has more than 30 year experience in geotechnical and geo-environmental engineering. His research activity has focused on the utilization of
industrial by-product and waste materials in environmental and civil engineering, soil stabilization and improvement methods of soil soft soil,
frost and frozen soil engineering, contaminated soil, contaminant transport in soils and tailings and tailings dam. He is member in several
scientific societies and he has published together 152 articles in international peer-reviewed journals and scientific conferences.
Dr. Toivo Kuokkanen, (Adjunct Professor, Department of Chemistry), has over 30 years long work experience chemical studies
especially waste material analysis and characterization and their utilisation. He has published over 200 scientific articles (about 60 concerning
bioenergy). The research group is nowadays focused on “Chemical methods for the eco-, material and cost-efficient utilisation of industrial,
chemical and bio-waste and industrial by-products as well as their use in waste water treatment”.
Dr. Jaakko Rämö, (Process and Environmental Technology) has worked at the University of Oulu since 2001, where he transferred from
VTT Technical Research Center of Finland. In addition to private commissions, he has performed academic research publishing more than 40
scientific journal articles. His focus is on chemical water treatment, but he is also strongly involved in chemical analytics. He has worked as a
responsible leader and project manager in many multi financed research projects and thus owns a large international network in the field of
water technology.
