Sustainability of palm oil production and opportunities for Finnish technology and know-how transfer

The global demand for palm oil is growing, thus prompting an increase in the global production particularly in Malaysia and Indonesia. Such increasing demand for palm oil is due to palm oil’s relatively cheap price and versatile advantage both in edible and non-edible applications. Along with the increasing demand for palm oil, particularly for the production of biofuel, is a heated debate on its sustainability. Ecological degradation, climate change and social issues are among the main sustainability issues pressing the whole palm oil industry today. Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) projects fulfilling the imperatives of the Kyoto Protocol are starting to gain momentum in Malaysia as reflected by the increasing registration of CDM projects in the palm oil mills. Most CDM projects in palm oil mills are on waste-to-energy, cocomposting, and methane recovery with the latter being the most common. The study on greenhouse gases (GHG) in the milling process points that biogas collection and energy utilisation has the greatest positive effect on GHG balance. On the other hand, empty fruit bunches (EFB) end-use as energy and high energy efficiency of the mill have the least effect on GHG balance of the mill. The range of direct GHG emissions from the palm oil mill is from 2.5 to 27 gCO2e/MJCPO, while the range of GHG emissions with all indirect and avoided emissions included is from -9 to 29 gCO2e/MJCPO. Comparing this GHG balance result with that of the EU RES-Directive suggests a further check on the values and emissions consideration of the latter.

The Environmental Status of the Port of HaminaKotka

This study is a part of the Ecologically Friendly Port Ust-Luga (EFP) project. The purpose of this study is to examine the environmental status of the Finnish ports and, more specifically, the Port of HaminaKotka. An analysis of the environmental status is performed mainly as a literature review, because the Finnish ports must comply with Finnish and EU legislation and with the binding international regulations and conventions created by different organizations. The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) has done groundbreaking work in the field of maritime safety and maritime environmental protection. The MARPOL convention has a great impact on decreasing pollution from international shipping and it applies to 99% of the world’s merchant tonnage. Pollution prevention covers: Oil pollution, Chemical pollution, Air pollution and GHG Emissions, Dumping of Wasted and Other Matters, Garbage, Sewage, Port Reception Facilities, Special Areas under MARPOL and Particularly Sensitive Sea Areas. There is also Pollution Prevention for other treaties like anti-fouling systems used on ships, the transfer of alien species by ships’ ballast water and the environmentally sound recycling of ships. There are more than twenty different EU and international regulations that influence ports and port operations in Finland. In addition, there is also national legislation that has an effect on Finnish ports. For the most part, the legislation for ports is common in the EU area, but the biggest and most important difference between the legislation in Finland and other EU countries is due to the Act on Environmental Impact Assessment Procedure. The Act states that the environmental impact assessment procedure shall be applied to projects that may have significant adverse environmental impacts, due to the special features of Finland`s nature and environment. In this Act, the term environmental impact refers to the direct and indirect effects inside and outside Finnish territory of a project or operations on human health, living conditions and amenity; soil, water, air, climate, organisms, interaction between them and biodiversity; community structure, buildings, landscape, townscape and cultural heritage; utilization of natural resources. In Finland, the Environmental Permit requires that ports collect all necessary information concerning environmental effects and make required reports to the Finnish authorities, stakeholders and the public. Commonly, environmental reporting is public and environmental achievements are emphasized in reporting and in media. At the moment, the problem in environmental reporting is that it’s difficult to compare data from different ports. There is enough data concerning the environmental effects and performance, but the manner of reporting and the quality of the data varies between ports. There are differences in the units and codes used, in some cases the information is not sufficient and it can even be rather unreliable. There are also differences regarding the subjects that are emphasized in reporting.

Quantitative elemental analysis of dry-ashed bark and wood samples of birch, spruce and pine from south-western Finland using PIXE

A total of over 200 different samples of bark and wood of Silver birch, Norway spruce and Scots pine were analysed. Samples were taken from several areas in western Finland, some with known sources of atmospheric heavy metal emission (Harjavalta, Ykspihlaja). Also analytical data for pine needles from some sites are reported. The chemical analyses were performed by thick-target particle-induced X-ray emission (PIXE) spectrometry after preconcentration by dry ashing of samples at 550oC. The following elements were quantified in most of the samples: P, S, K, Ca, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Rb, Sr, Cd, Ba and Pb. The ash percentage and the chemical composition of ashes of different wood materials were also obtained, as dry ashing was used in the analytical procedure. The variations in elemental concentrations in wood and bark of an individual tree, expressed as RSDs, were mostly in the range 10 – 20 %. For several trees of the same species sampled from small areas (< 1 ha), the variations in elemental concentrations were surprisingly high (RSDs 20 – 50 %). In the vicinity of metal plants, effects of strong atmospheric heavy metal pollution (pollution factor above 100) were observed in pine bark. The increase of heavy metal content in wood samples from the same sites was quite small. Elemental concentrations in ashes of bark and wood, from areas with no local source of atmospheric pollution, were relatively uniform. Based on this observation an alternative way of demonstrating atmospheric pollution of tree bark is discussed.

The effect of pulp washing on bleaching efficiency

The main aim of this study was to inspect the influence of the ultrafiltration implementation on the washing and on bleaching efficiency. Four cases corresponding to four washing stages were observed: two with hardwood pulp and two with softwood pulp; each case had a reference and a trial experiment. The experiments with hardwood pulp were arranged in a manner to explore predominantly the possibility of bleaching performance improvement by applying for washing instead of untreated filtrate (reference case) the same treated one (trial case). Despite that the ultrafiltration reduced the COD of the wash filtrates allowing the decreasing of COD carry-over to the bleaching stage it didn’t affect the bleaching performance. Another set was used in the experiments with softwood pulp. It implied the ultrafiltration and recirculation of the filtrate to the same washing stage with the purpose to reduce the volumes and pollution of the bleaching effluents. In one case the negative result was obtained which was expressed by worse parameters of the pulp after bleaching. Another case showed the opportunity to replace hot water with the filtrate and reduce the fresh water consumption.

Remote sensing for three-dimensional modelling of hydromorphology

Successful management of rivers requires an understanding of the fluvial processes that govern them. This, in turn cannot be achieved without a means of quantifying their geomorphology and hydrology and the spatio-temporal interactions between them, that is, their hydromorphology. For a long time, it has been laborious and time-consuming to measure river topography, especially in the submerged part of the channel. The measurement of the flow field has been challenging as well, and hence, such measurements have long been sparse in natural environments. Technological advancements in the field of remote sensing in the recent years have opened up new possibilities for capturing synoptic information on river environments. This thesis presents new developments in fluvial remote sensing of both topography and water flow. A set of close-range remote sensing methods is employed to eventually construct a high-resolution unified empirical hydromorphological model, that is, river channel and floodplain topography and three-dimensional areal flow field. Empirical as well as hydraulic theory-based optical remote sensing methods are tested and evaluated using normal colour aerial photographs and sonar calibration and reference measurements on a rocky-bed sub-Arctic river. The empirical optical bathymetry model is developed further by the introduction of a deep-water radiance parameter estimation algorithm that extends the field of application of the model to shallow streams. The effect of this parameter on the model is also assessed in a study of a sandy-bed sub-Arctic river using close-range high-resolution aerial photography, presenting one of the first examples of fluvial bathymetry modelling from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). Further close-range remote sensing methods are added to complete the topography integrating the river bed with the floodplain to create a seamless high-resolution topography. Boat- cart- and backpack-based mobile laser scanning (MLS) are used to measure the topography of the dry part of the channel at a high resolution and accuracy. Multitemporal MLS is evaluated along with UAV-based photogrammetry against terrestrial laser scanning reference data and merged with UAV-based bathymetry to create a two-year series of seamless digital terrain models. These allow the evaluation of the methodology for conducting high-resolution change analysis of the entire channel. The remote sensing based model of hydromorphology is completed by a new methodology for mapping the flow field in 3D. An acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) is deployed on a remote-controlled boat with a survey-grade global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver, allowing the positioning of the areally sampled 3D flow vectors in 3D space as a point cloud and its interpolation into a 3D matrix allows a quantitative volumetric flow analysis. Multitemporal areal 3D flow field data show the evolution of the flow field during a snow-melt flood event. The combination of the underwater and dry topography with the flow field yields a compete model of river hydromorphology at the reach scale.

Identification of characteristics for successful university-company partnership development

The importance of university-company collaboration has increased during the last decades. The drivers for that are, on the one hand, changes in business logic of companies and on the other hand the decreased state funding of universities. Many companies emphasize joint research with universities as an enabling input to their development processes, which aim at creating new innovations, products and wealth. These factors have changed universities’ operations and they have adopted several practices of dynamic business organizations, such as strategic planning, monitoring and controlling methods of internal processes etc. The objective of this thesis is to combine different characteristics of successful university-company partnership and its development. The development process starts with identifying potential partners in the university’s interest group, which requires understanding the role of different partners in the innovation system. Next, in order to find a common development basis, matching the policy and strategy between partners is needed. The third phase is to combine the academic and industrial objectives of a joint project, which is a typical form of university-company collaboration. The optimum is a win-win situation where both partners, universities and companies, can get addedvalue. For the companies added value typically means access to new research results before their competitors. For the universities added value offers a possibility to carry on high level scientific work. The research output in the form of published scientific articles is evaluated by the international science community. Because the university-company partnership is often executed by joint projects, the different forms of this kind of projects is discussed in this study. The most challenging form of collaboration is a semi-open project model, which is not based on bilateral activities between universities and companies but on a consortium of several universities, research institutes and companies. The universities and companies are core actors in the innovation system. Thus the discussion of their roles and relations to public operators like publicly funded financiers is important. In the Finnish innovation system there are at least the following doers executing strategies and policies: EU, Academy of Finland and TEKES. In addition to these, Strategic Centres for Science, Technology and Innovation which are owned jointly by companies, universities and research organizations have a very important role in their fields of business. They transfer research results into commercial actions to generate wealth. The thesis comprises two parts. The first part consists of an overview of the study including introduction, literature review, research design, synthesis of findings and conclusions. The second part introduces four original research publications.

Feasibility of industrial implementation of laser cutting into paper making machine

Laser cutting implementation possibilities into paper making machine was studied as the main objective of the work. Laser cutting technology application was considered as a replacement tool for conventional cutting methods used in paper making machines for longitudinal cutting such as edge trimming at different paper making process and tambour roll slitting. Laser cutting of paper was tested in 70’s for the first time. Since then, laser cutting and processing has been applied for paper materials with different level of success in industry. Laser cutting can be employed for longitudinal cutting of paper web in machine direction. The most common conventional cutting methods include water jet cutting and rotating slitting blades applied in paper making machines. Cutting with CO2 laser fulfils basic requirements for cutting quality, applicability to material and cutting speeds in all locations where longitudinal cutting is needed. Literature review provided description of advantages, disadvantages and challenges of laser technology when it was applied for cutting of paper material with particular attention to cutting of moving paper web. Based on studied laser cutting capabilities and problem definition of conventional cutting technologies, preliminary selection of the most promising application area was carried out. Laser cutting (trimming) of paper web edges in wet end was estimated to be the most promising area where it can be implemented. This assumption was made on the basis of rate of web breaks occurrence. It was found that up to 64 % of total number of web breaks occurred in wet end, particularly in location of so called open draws where paper web was transferred unsupported by wire or felt. Distribution of web breaks in machine cross direction revealed that defects of paper web edge was the main reason of tearing initiation and consequent web break. The assumption was made that laser cutting was capable of improvement of laser cut edge tensile strength due to high cutting quality and sealing effect of the edge after laser cutting. Studies of laser ablation of cellulose supported this claim. Linear energy needed for cutting was calculated with regard to paper web properties in intended laser cutting location. Calculated linear cutting energy was verified with series of laser cutting. Practically obtained laser energy needed for cutting deviated from calculated values. This could be explained by difference in heat transfer via radiation in laser cutting and different absorption characteristics of dry and moist paper material. Laser cut samples (both dry and moist (dry matter content about 25-40%)) were tested for strength properties. It was shown that tensile strength and strain break of laser cut samples are similar to corresponding values of non-laser cut samples. Chosen method, however, did not address tensile strength of laser cut edge in particular. Thus, the assumption of improving strength properties with laser cutting was not fully proved. Laser cutting effect on possible pollution of mill broke (recycling of trimmed edge) was carried out. Laser cut samples (both dry and moist) were tested on the content of dirt particles. The tests revealed that accumulation of dust particles on the surface of moist samples can take place. This has to be taken into account to prevent contamination of pulp suspension when trim waste is recycled. Material loss due to evaporation during laser cutting and amount of solid residues after cutting were evaluated. Edge trimming with laser would result in 0.25 kg/h of solid residues and 2.5 kg/h of lost material due to evaporation. Schemes of laser cutting implementation and needed laser equipment were discussed. Generally, laser cutting system would require two laser sources (one laser source for each cutting zone), set of beam transfer and focusing optics and cutting heads. In order to increase reliability of system, it was suggested that each laser source would have double capacity. That would allow to perform cutting employing one laser source working at full capacity for both cutting zones. Laser technology is in required level at the moment and do not require additional development. Moreover, capacity of speed increase is high due to availability high power laser sources what can support the tendency of speed increase of paper making machines. Laser cutting system would require special roll to maintain cutting. The scheme of such roll was proposed as well as roll integration into paper making machine. Laser cutting can be done in location of central roll in press section, before so-called open draw where many web breaks occur, where it has potential to improve runability of a paper making machine. Economic performance of laser cutting was done as comparison of laser cutting system and water jet cutting working in the same conditions. It was revealed that laser cutting would still be about two times more expensive compared to water jet cutting. This is mainly due to high investment cost of laser equipment and poor energy efficiency of CO2 lasers. Another factor is that laser cutting causes material loss due to evaporation whereas water jet cutting almost does not cause material loss. Despite difficulties of laser cutting implementation in paper making machine, its implementation can be beneficial. The crucial role in that is possibility to improve cut edge strength properties and consequently reduce number of web breaks. Capacity of laser cutting to maintain cutting speeds which exceed current speeds of paper making machines what is another argument to consider laser cutting technology in design of new high speed paper making machines.

Suomen öljytaseen laskenta kansainvälisessä raportoinnissa ja kansallisessa tilastoinnissa

Työn kohteena olivat Suomen öljytaseeseen liittyvät kansainväliset vuosikyselyt, joiden raportoinnista Suomessa vastaa Tilastokeskus. Samalla tarkasteltiin Tilastokeskuksen laatimia kansallisia energiatilastoja, jotka liittyvät öljyn hankintaan, jalostukseen ja käyttöön. Työn pääpaino oli kuitenkin kansainvälisissä raportoinneissa. Työn tavoitteena oli kehittää Eurostatin, IEA:n ja YK:n vuosittaisen öljykyselyn sekä YK:n ilmastosopimukselle laadittavaan kasvihuonekaasuinventaarioon liittyvän Reference Approach -laskennan raportointia. Selvitysten toivottiin pienentävän öljynhankinnan ja kulutuksen välisistä tase-eroista johtuvia tilastovirheitä. Kansainvälisten raportointien tutkimuksesta odotettiin myös löytyvän kehittämisehdotuksia kansallisiin energiatilastoihin. Vuosittaisten energiakyselyiden pohjalta syntyvät merkittävimmät kansainväliset energiatilastotietokannat. Tietoja käytetään useisiin tarkoituksiin muun muassa energian riittävyyden jakulutuksen analysointiin globaalisti. Reference Approach on taas vaihtoehtoinenlaskentatapa energiakäytöstä ja -tuotannosta aiheutuville hiilidioksidipäästöille. Reference Approach raportoidaan vuosittain YK:n ilmastosopimukselle. Työ toteutettiin tarkastelemalla kansainvälisen öljykyselyn rakennetta ja useista eri lähteistä saatuja öljytuotteiden lähtötietoja. Vuoden 2004 öljykyselyä täydennettiin ja tietoja verrattiin alkuperäiseen raporttiin. Reference Approach -laskennan tutkiminen toteutettiin tarkistamalla öljytuotteiden lähtötiedot ja loppukäytön jakaantuminen energiakäytön ja raaka-ainekäytön välillä. Tutkimuksien pohjalta Reference Approach -aikasarja laskettiin uudelleen ja tuloksia verrattiin alkuperäiseen aikasarjaan. Työn tuloksena saatiin sekä kansainvälistä öljykyselyä että Reference Approach -laskentaa tarkennettua huomattavasti. Samalla tilastovirheet pienenivät merkittävästi. Työssä tehtyjä havaintoja ja tuloksia tullaan hyödyntämään jatkossa sekä Suomen kasvihuonekaasupäästöjen laskennassa että kansainvälisen öljykyselyn raportoinnissa.

Mikrokontrolleriohjaus led-ryhmälle

Luonnonvarojen ehtyminen ja ympäristön saastuminen on luonut kysyntää uusille, energiaa säästäville ja ympäristöystävällisille teknologioille. Valaistuksessa tällainen teknologia on led-tekniikka. Led-tekniikalla on useita etuja verrattuna kilpaileviin tekniikoihin kuten pitkä elinikä, ympäristöystävällisyys ja mekaaninen kestävyys. Ledejä käytetään nykyään laajalti erilaisissa erikoissovelluksissa, erityisesti jos vaatimuksena on valon värillisyys. Näihin päiviin asti ledien hinta ja heikko valontuotto ovat rajoittaneet led-valaisimien yleistymistä hehkulamppujen ja muiden valaisintyyppien korvaajina. Tekniikan nopea kehittyminen on tehnyt led-tekniikasta varteenotettavan vaihtoehdon myös yleisvalaistukseen. Uusimpien valkoisten ledien valotehokkuus on 2 - 5 -kertainen hehkulamppuun verrattuna. Led-tekniikassa on vielä paljon käyttämätöntä potentiaalia, tulevaisuudessa päästäneen 10 - 15 -kertaiseen valotehokkuuteen hehkulamppuun verrattuna. Työssä suunnitellaan mikrokontrolleripohjainen ohjausjärjestelmä valkoista valoa tuottavalle led-valaisimelle, jonka värisävyä ja kirkkautta käyttäjä voi säätää. Valkoinen valo synnytetään sekoittamalla neljän erivärisen led-rivin valoa. Mikrokontrolleri ohjaa kutakin led-riviä väriensekoitusteoriaan perustuen. Mikrokontrolleriohjaus huomioi myös ledien optisten ominaisuuksien muutokset lämpötilan suhteen. Mikrokontrolleriohjauksen suorituskyky todetaan käytännön mittauksilla.

Kunnallisen tai seudullisen toimitilahallinnon yhtiöittämisen edut ja haitat

Tutkimuksen aihe liittyy kunnallisten toimitilojen yhtiöittämiskysymykseen, joka on ollut esillä monissa kunnissa useita vuosia ja laajentunut nyt seudulliseksi. Tutkimuksen tavoitteena on tarkastella, mitä hyötyä tai haittaa kunnallisen tai seudullisen toimitilahallinnosta vastaavan yksikön yhtiöittämisestä olisi. Parantaakseen tuottavuutta kunta voi järjestää toimintansa perinteisen kunnallisen organisoinnin sijaan liikelaitoksena tai osakeyhtiönä silloin, kun toiminnan laatu on liiketoiminnan luonteista. Suurin osa kuntien toimitilakiinteistöistä toimii kuntien palvelutuotannon suoranaisena tuotantovälineenä. Kuntien välisen yhteistoiminnan lisääminen voidaan nähdä mahdollisuutena julkisella sektorilla. Sen lisääminen edesauttaa tuottavuuden kasvua ja mahdollistaa palvelujen jatkuvan kehittämisen. Yhtiöittäminen tuo toimintaan mukaan asioita, jotka varmasti tehostavat toimintaa, kuten päätöksenteon nopeutuminen, toiminnan joustavuus, joustava ja kilpailukykyinen henkilöstöhallinto sekä yhtiön toiminnan ja päätösten ei-julkisuus jne. Huonoja puolia yhtiöittämisessä on kuntien kiinteistömenojen mahdollinen nousu käyttötalouspuolella sekä se, että yhtiöllä olisi käytännössä vain muutama asiakas. Suomessa kuntien toimitilahallinto on todennäköisesti menossa kohti yhtiömallia. Vaihtoehtoina yhtiöittämiselle ovat siis liikelaitosmallin kehittäminen ja joissain tapauksissa keskinäinen kiinteistöyhtiömalli. Joka tapauksessa kuntien toimitilahallintoyksiköiden toimintaa ja toimintamallia pitää kehittää, jotta niiden tuottavuus kasvaa sekä toiminta säilyy kannattavana ja järkevänä. Ulkoisten tekijöiden vaikutus kuntien toimitilahallinnon toimintaan kasvaa koko ajan.

Virkavastuu. Määräaikainen virantoimituksesta erottaminen rajavartiomiehen, ammattisotilaan ja poliisin erityisenä kurinpitorangaistuksena.

Tutkielman tavoitteena on oikeudellisten lähteiden systematisoinnilla tuottaa johdonmukainen kuvaus poliisin, rajavartiomiehen sekä ammattisotilaan virkavelvollisuuksista, oikeudellisesta vastuusta ja virkarikosten rangaistavuudesta. Päähuomio kohdistuu virkamiehen määräaikaiseen virantoimituksesta erottamiseen. Oikeudellisella argumentaatiolla pyritään esittämään lainmukainen ja hyväksyttävä tulkintakannanotto siihen, miten kyseistä säädöstä tulisi tulkita. Tutkimusmetodi työssä on oikeusdogmatiikka. Ensisijaisena aineistona tutkielmassa on voimassa oleva lainsäädäntö valmisteluaineistoineen. Toissijaisina lähteinä käytetään kirjallisuutta, viranomaisten kurinpitopäätöksiä ja haastatteluja. Määräaikainen erottaminen voidaan määrätä virkamiehelle, joka toimii vastoin virkavelvollisuuksiaan tai laiminlyö niitä. Säädös on tulkittavissa laajentavasti siten, että myös muut kuin selkeästi viranomaisen valvontavastuulle kuuluvat teot voidaan katsoa virkatehtävien vastaiseksi. Erityisen käyttäytymisvelvoitteen johdosta menettely on rangaistavaa myös vapaa-ajalla. Määräaikainen erottaminen sijoittuu rangaistusasteikossa varoituksen ja irtisanomisen väliin. Rangaistus ei edellytä erityisen painavia perusteita, joita vaaditaan virkamiehen irtisanomiseen. Uuden säädöksen myötä irtisanomisten määrä on vähentynyt Rajavartiolaitoksessa. Säädöksestä on muotoutunut kurinpidollinen lisärangaistus, joka on määrätty virkamiehelle hallinnollisella päätöksellä yleensä rikostuomion jälkeen. Säädös on kuitenkin tarkoitettu ja se mahdollistaa myös puuttumisen varsinaisten virkatehtävien laiminlyönteihin. Lainsäädännön selkeyttämiseksi määräaikaisen erottamisen säädös tulisi poistaa eri viranomaisten erityislainsäädännöstä ja liittää suoraan virkamieslakiin. Säädöksen soveltaminen tulisi ulottaa koskemaan myös muita virkamiehiä, jotka palvelevat kyseisissä viranomaisissa. Tutkimuksen kohteena oleva virkamiesryhmä alistuu virkamiesoikeudessa blankkorangaistusuhan alle. Virkamiehen on vaikea hahmottaa kaikkea rangaistavaa toimintaa, ja virantoimittamisvelvollisuus on usein täsmentymätön ja tulkinnanvarainen. Kokonaisharkinnassa korostuvat myös muut kuin oikeudelliset lähteet (esimerkiksi moraalikäsitykset, etiikka, ohjeet, virkamiehen elämäntilanne). Sotilaiden ja poliisin oikeudenhoito poikkeaa monilta osin muiden virkamiesten oikeudenhoitomenettelystä. Rajavartiolaitoksessa sotilasoikeudenhoidon määräykset ja ohjeet ovat selkeästi puutteelliset. Rajavartiolaitoksen tehtäväkentän ja toimivaltuudet huomioiden tulisi kurinpito- ja virkarikosten tutkinnoissa lähentyä poliisin mallia sekä hyödyntää rikostorjuntahenkilöstön ammattitaitoa oman henkilökunnan esitutkinnoissa. Erityisen turvallisuusviranomaisten virkarikoksiin erikoistuneen tutkintaorganisaation perustaminen voisi tehostaa ja parantaa esitutkintojen tasoa sekä lisätä oikeusvarmuutta.
