Milling Solutions

Many are unaware that fuel milling technology has a direct impact on plant efficiency and emissions. CTI is one of Finland’s leading providers of milling solutions for pellet dust and other biofuels.

Our specialised expertise in milling

  • In-house mill delivery: We design and supply the equipment as part of a complete system. This ensures maximum compatibility and performance.
  • Fuel adaptability: The system can be adjusted for various fuels (wood pellets, bio-dust, natural gas replacements).
  • Retrofit compatibility: Milling solutions are integrated into existing plants, built as part of a modernisation project or as a part of a whole new plant.
  • Combustion efficiency: Poorly milled fuel won’t burn efficiently – we ensure a consistent and clean combustion process.

Milling is a critical step, especially in the handling of pellet dust. If the result isn’t fine and uniform enough, combustion suffers – and so does the overall energy efficiency of the plant.

CTI’s approach is customer-specific and data-driven. We always start by mapping the customer’s systems and production processes: where waste heat is generated, where energy could be recovered, and how it can be integrated into usable production.

Sidestream material utilisation

Energy efficiency isn’t just about optimising production – it’s also about reusing materials and sidestreams. CTI develops solutions that integrate industrial and heating plant sidestreams into a sustainable energy economy.

Sidestream heat recovery: Waste heat from various processes can be directed to heat recovery systems or recycled as process heat.

Energy reuse: Electric boilers and battery systems allow energy to be stored for later use.

System integration: CTI’s solutions support hybrid models – for example, combining an electric boiler with milled biofuel.

Environmental responsibility: Less waste, less loss – more value from the available energy.
