Metsähakkeen jalostusarvon nostaminen eri kuivausmenetelmillä

The thesis was made for Hyötypaperi Oy. To the business activity of the company belongs the recycling of materials and carry out for re-use and the manufacture of solid biofuels and solid recovered fuels. Hyötypaperi Oy delivers forest chips to its partner incineration plants by day and night though the year. The value of the forest chips is based on its percentage of dry material. It is important to dry forest chips well before its storage in piles and delivering to incineration plants. In the thesis was examed the increasing of the degree of refinement of forest chips by different drying methods. In the thesis was examined four different drying methods of the forest chips. The methods were field-, plate-, platform- and channel drying. In the channel drying was used a mechanical blower and the other drying methods were based on the weather conditions. By all drying methods were made test dryings during the summer 2007. In the thesis was examined also the economical profitableness of the field- and channel drying. The last examination in the thesis was measuring of the forest chips’s humidity by humidity measuring equipment of sawn timber during November 2007. The field drying on the surface of asphalt is the only method of drying, which is used by Hyötypaperi Oy in its own production. There do not exist earlier properly examined facts of any drying methods of forest chips, because the drying of forest chips is a new branch. By field- and platform drying achieved lower humidity of forest chips than by plate drying. The object by using the humidity measuring equipment was to be informed of the humidity of forest chips. At present the humidity will find out after 24 hours when the sample of humidity quantity has been dried in the oven. The Lappeenranta University of Technology had the humidity measuring equipment of sawn timber. The values of humidity measured by the equipment from the sample of forest chips were 2 – 9 percent lower than the real values of humidity specified by drying in oven.

Spectrometrical Monitoring of Laser Sintering Process of Ceramic Material

This thesis is done as a part of project called FuncMama that is a project between Technical Research Centre of Finland (VTT), Oulu University (OY), Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT) and Finnish industrial partners. Main goal of the project is to manufacture electric and mechanical components from mixed materials using laser sintering. Aim of this study was to create laser sintered pieces from ceramic material and monitor the sintering event by using spectrometer. Spectrometer is a device which is capable to record intensity of different wavelengths in relation with time. In this study the monitoring of laser sintering was captured with the equipment which consists of Ocean Optics spectrometer, optical fiber and optical lens (detector head). Light from the sintering process hit first to the lens system which guides the light in to the optical fibre. Optical fibre transmits the light from the sintering process to the spectrometer where wavelengths intensity level information is detected. The optical lens of the spectrometer was rigidly set and did not move along with the laser beam. Data which was collected with spectrometer from the laser sintering process was converted with Excel spreadsheet program for result’s evaluation. Laser equipment used was IPG Photonics pulse fibre laser. Laser parameters were kept mainly constant during experimental part and only sintering speed was changed. That way it was possible to find differences in the monitoring results without fear of too many parameters mixing together and affecting to the conclusions. Parts which were sintered had one layer and size of 5 x 5 mm. Material was CT2000 – tape manufactured by Heraeus which was later on post processed to powder. Monitoring of different sintering speeds was tested by using CT2000 reference powder. Moreover tests how different materials effect to the process monitoring were done by adding foreign powder Du Pont 951 which had suffered in re-grinding and which was more reactive than CT2000. By adding foreign material it simulates situation where two materials are accidently mixed together and it was studied if that can be seen with the spectrometer. It was concluded in this study that with the spectrometer it is possible to detect changes between different laser sintering speeds. When the sintering speed is lowered the intensity level of light is higher from the process. This is a result of higher temperature at the sintering spot and that can be noticed with the spectrometer. That indicates it could be possible to use spectrometer as a tool for process observation and support the idea of having system that can help setting up the process parameter window. Also important conclusion was how well the adding of foreign material could be seen with the spectrometer. When second material was added a significant intensity level raise could be noticed in that part where foreign material was mixed. That indicates it is possible to see if there are any variations in the material or if there are more materials mixed together. Spectrometric monitoring of laser sintering could be useful tool for process window observation and temperature controlling of the sintering process. For example if the process window for specific material is experimentally determined to get wanted properties and satisfying sintering speed. It is possible if the data is constantly recorded that the results can show faults in the part texture between layers. Changes between the monitoring data and the experimentally determined values can then indicate changes in the material being generated by material faults or by wrong process parameters. The results of this study show that spectrometer could be one possible tool for monitoring. But to get in that point where this all can be made possible much more researching is needed.

Movax Oy:n tuotteiden ja tekniikan käyttömahdollisuudet pilaantuneiden maa-alueiden ja pohjavesien kunnostushankkeissa

Työn tavoitteena on tarkastella erilaisia in-situ -kunnostusmenetelmiä maaperän ja pohjaveden kunnostushankkeissa ja niiden toteutusvaihtoehtoja sekä vertailla niitä keskenään. Työssä tarkastellaan myös lainsäädännön ja eri menetelmien kehittymistä, niiden tulevaisuuden näkymiä sekä pohditaan yrityksen tuotteiden liiketoimintamahdollisuuksia tämän pohjalta. Tietoa kerätään kirjallisuudesta sekä tapaustutkimuksista ja niitä peilataan yrityksen sisällä olevaan hiljaiseen tietoon. Löydettyä kirjallisuustietoa sekä tapaustutkimuksia on analysoitu SWOT-analyysien sekä ryhmittelyjen avulla. Työn tuloksena on esitetty vaihtoehtoinen tapa asentaa reaktiivinen seinämä pohjaveden kunnostushankkeissa yrityksen tuotteiden ja putkipaalujen avulla. Lisäksi työn pohjalta voidaan koota materiaalia ja lisätietoa asiakkaille sekä myynnin ja markkinoinnin tukemiseen. Tulosten pohjalta voidaan arvioida, että kyseinen menetelmä tukisi myös kestävän kehityksen periaatteita kunnostushankkeen toteutus- ja asennusvaiheessa. Menetelmän avulla voitaisiin mahdollisesti vähentää reaktiivisten seinämien asentamiseen liittyviä ympäristövaikutuksia.
