Senior Awards granted
Senior Awards for numerous significant contributions to Outotec over a long career were granted to:
- Christian von Alfthan for active involvement in the development of sampling and analysis technologies and applications. He is the inventor of 9 patents, which have significantly contributed to the Outotec's global market leader position in the on-stream analysis of slurry particle size and elemental composition;
- Dr. Ali-Naghi Beyzavi for the development of recently patented microgranulation technology that allows Outotec to apply fluidized bed technology to very fine materials. In addition, he is one of the inventors of the Circosmelt® process for treatment of titanium-containing ores;
- Väinö Kylä-Heikkilä for his deep commitment to designing automation for the anode casting systems. Some 80% of the world's copper anodes are cast using Outotec casting machines. The reason why Outotec is a global leader in casting shop deliveries is particularly thanks to the smooth operation of the highly automated casting machine. In addition, Mr. Kylä-Heikkilä has participated in the engineering, delivering and commissioning of almost all Outotec casting shops, the number of which is close to 70 all around the world; and to
- Dr. Antti Roine for the development of the world's most popular thermodynamic software, HSC Chemistry®. He started the development work alone 33 years ago for personal purposes to make thermodynamic calculations easier. Until today numerous processes associated with Outotec's business cases and R&D projects have been modeled using this software and over 14,000 copies of the Windows version of HSC Chemistry® have been sold to chemical and metallurgical industries and universities in 75 countries.
