High performance drying of plantation grown eucalypt timber.

林业每年在澳大利亚创造140亿美元的收入，雇用86，000名员工。 硬木锯材是一种增值产品，微波技术将提高木材利用率，提高利润率，因为更有效的加工和减少干燥降解。在澳大利亚发明的清洁、高科技微波干燥技术和设备的发展将使澳大利亚公司能够在这一工业领域走在前列，在国际市场上出售许可证、设计、项目管理和设备。这一举措将增加人工林的价值，减少石油消耗，并在高价值产品中封存二氧化碳。

Forest industries generate $14 billion annually in Australia and employs 86,000 staff. Hardwood sawn timber is a value added product and microwave technology will increase returns due to more improved timber utilization and better profit margins due to more efficient processing and reduced drying degrade. At the forefront the development of clean, high-tech microwave drying technology and equipment, that is invented in Australia, will allow Australian companies to be forefront in this industrial area, to sell licences, designs, project management and equipment on international markets. This initiative will value-add plantation forests, reduce oil consumption and sequester CO2 in high value products.
