CIRU –Platform

To enhance co-operation and innovation oriented research in area of material efficiency and make us aim enough high

Inside UniversityBetween Oulu area R&D units

Between companies

Especially SME companies

More research cooperation inside Finland and European Union

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 by-product based and from primary raw material based products – markets will bloom

Participants from Oulu UniversityProf. 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.
