Exclusive Fintoil's Hamina-Kotka Biorefinery Site Visit:

During the afternoon of Tuesday,  6th February 2024, a day prior to the conference, a limited number of conference delegates will have the unique opportunity to visit Fintoil's Crude Tall Oil (CTO) Biorefinery in the port of Hamina-Kotka.

Fintoil's cutting-edge CTO biorefinery's production process is based on a fractionation process, where the raw material is distilled into its component parts or fractions by using thermal energy and vacuum. Production at the biorefinery started in the autumn of 2022. Fintoil's biorefinery utilizes intelligent tall oil fractionation technology NEXPINUS™ licensed by Neste's Engineering Solutions (NES). The modern refinery's input capacity is 200,000 tons of crude tall oil, making Fintoil the third largest crude tall oil refiner in the world. The plant was also designed with the possibility of increasing the input capacity in the future.

There is no extra charge to join the site visit, although the number of places is limited and allocated to the conference delegates on a first-come first-served basis. Therefore, we would strongly recommend you to book your place early enough to avoid disappointment.
