Drying is a key step in processing timber. The increasing availability of plantation hardwood timber, with greater variability in its properties than previous resources, presents an opportunity to take advantage of the development of better mathematical techniques for process optimization and better drying and mechanical models for timber to address this challenge. This project will produce optimized drying schedules, which are combinations of temperatures and humidities used during drying, to effectively dry plantation timber with variable properties, producing timber for high-value and appearance-grade end uses, such as flooring and furniture.

干燥是木材加工的关键步骤。与以前的资源相比，人工林硬木木材的性质变化性更大，其可用性不断增加，这为利用更好的数学技术进行工艺优化和木材更好的干燥和力学模型的开发提供了机会，以应对这一挑战。该项目将制定优化的干燥时间表，即干燥过程中使用的温度和湿度的组合，以有效干燥具有不同性质的人工林木材，生产用于高价值和外观等级的最终用途的木材，如地板和家具。
