Pori planned large biokonversio factories, which would produce bioethanol, lignin and biogas. The plant as a raw material would be saw the page flow as a birth puupurua and kuoriketta.

the Facility is planned At the industrial area, which is also located Venatorin pigment factory, kemira’s chemicals plant and the Pori process, the power of the combustion plant. With rash dead has announced the closure of the pigment plant production in 2021.

New technology

biokonversio plant construction project behind is a Finnish Bio Ltd., which has researched new type of biokonversio the institution’s profitability in the region. Institution based in Sweden developed a new technology, where the biomass is digested cellulose and ligniiniksi.

the Company’s chairman of the board Timo Saini noted that the project preparation is already long. The first discussions on financing are already in the paint and the project’s environmental impact showdown has already started. The final investment decision is planned to make the end of next year.

After all this many corners yet, but so far all has gone so well, that I’m really optimistic.

It was implemented the first commercial size biokonversio plant, where the wood made by hydrolysis of bioethanol. Technology functionality has been proven on a smaller scale in Sweden Örnsköldsvikissä.

There Sekab E-technology demonstration plant has made bioethanol from wood for more than ten years.

– This facility construction does not involve very high innovation risk. Of course, industry risk is the scale of enlargement, if it is to be called. It doesn’t scare us at all, Saini said.

Pori construction of the plant’s total investment value would be around 150-170 million, which would be the largest industrial investment in Pori, finland in a decade. Plant profitability in Pori has been cleared this year, Satakunta ely centre support. The study will be completed early in the year.

for Example, biogas production measurement facility would be unprecedented. Biogas is a by-product. The institution’s main purpose would be to produce bioethanol.

Yes, this is a great facility, what is planned at present. That’s why Pori is such a good spot, because in this institution next to a good harbor. Probably around half of all production would go for export.

About 50 permanent jobs – indirectly employs hundreds of

the Factory during the construction of the staff effects are extensive. Bio calculates that construction employment means creating people about 500 person-years. The plant you need to run the Bio by 40-50 people. Indirectly, the factory employed means creating hundreds of people in the area.

the Plant would produce päätuotteenaan gasoline mix to produce bioethanol approximately 25 000 tonnes per year. The by-product would be biogas to around 15 000 cars. Production would be able to refuel all of Finland now gas passing cars. Bio according to market grow wildly in the next few years.

– the hardest according to estimates, in 2030 Finland would be more than 100 000 (gas)car. Yes this biogas very quickly you need a lot, Saini said.

“Green glue” in the asphalt binder for?

an Interesting by-product plant should be lignin, which it would produce in solid form as many as 78 000 tonnes per year. Popularly lignin is the glue, which can be used as a bonding agent in many different solutions.

Bio vision in lignin can be used for example as a binding agent for road surfacing.

– Bitumen and lignin are molecular structure very similar. They can be combined to create green asphalt.

Sainin according to lignin is still kyntämätön conventional forest industry. Bio producer of lignin should be priced roughly the same range as bitumen. Saini believes that lignin could replace bitumen in the use of environmentally friendly therefore.

I Can’t imagine that the market opens pretty easily.

Fire changed the direction of Pori

biokonversio institution would be a good industrial replacement Venatorin pigments factory, the action of which ends in 2021.

at the end of January 2017 happened pigment factory fire and the ensuing Venatorin announcement of the factory closure was a great loss to the Pori process power owned by Cana power plant.

the process force has been responsible, inter alia, pigments factory the energy required by the production. Now the power plant has been forced to use partial power.

– after the Fire we have produced about half of the energy before the produce, said the Pori process, the power of the ceo Timo Hill .

according to Estimates by biokonversio plant would use about 20% of the slice of Cana power plant producing energy. Bio would therefore be quite a significant customer of the Pori process force.

Bio according to Pori is anyway excellent place to the factory, because the transport links are good. Inter alia, the port is located only about five kilometers from the factory.

Timo Sainin according to the Bio search for the location of its factories around Finland, but in the end Pori range into a place by chance.

– didn’t I think to come to Pori, but I got the call that came to listen to good stuff good location. Because of the way this started. Pori needs us and we need a location. Beat together!
