Cleantech and Bioeconomy

In areas of cleantech and bioeconomy, CEMIS primarily focuses on on-line measurement solutions for the process industry, in particular, for the bioeconomy and mining sectors, and for environmental monitoring.

University of Oulu, Measurements Technology Unit (MITY) in Kajaani

MITY focuses on development of monitoring technology based on electrochemistry, chemical sensors and biosensors, optical spectroscopy and imaging measurements. The key application field areas are environmental monitoring and process monitoring for mining, food and forest industry (incl. chemical/mechanical paper industry and wood processing). The unit has the capabilities to build measurement device prototypes at their Kajaani location. The state-of-art facilities and research environment has allowed for the development of monitoring sensors, which have led to several invention disclosures and commercialization.

MITY develops and adapts new technologies for utilization of natural biomasses and their sidestreams. The unit has fostered cooperation with the cosmetic and natural ingredient manufacturing companies.

In addition, MITY offers:

  • Expert services in analytical chemistry and bioanalysis services
  • Quality monitoring for mechanical wood processing industry
  • Real-time measurements for process metallurgy
  • Remotely operated measurement platforms for environmental measurement (including Drones)
