The program will focus particularly on developing applications for process waters, energy production and biorefineries, UPM said.

Planning begins immediately, and UPM expects the EUR 6 million-program to get underway at the beginning of 2009.

About 5-10 people from UPM's Kajaani mill will be employed in the program, the company said

A primary goal of the program is to support new business development and to maintain the know-how that has emerged in Kajaani over the years, UPM said

UPM noted that Metso has had a unit in the area for decades developing and marketing process measuring equipment.

In addition, the program will tap into the University of Oulu's know-how in measuring technology, and process and environmental technology.
