Ontario straw board manufacturing for energy applications

OMTEC公司在加拿大建立了领导地位，作为小麦秸秆的供应商， 热塑性复合材料该公司是加拿大的基础和拥有。该公司计划扩大其 在安大略的一家制造厂生产纤维素压榨板。该研究项目将调查 天然纤维在高压绝缘子压板制造中的应用。 这项研究将提供所需的知识，以扩大规模和确定生产条件的一个 商业规模。滑铁卢大学进行的研究将集中在秸秆纤维的选择上 参数、配方和压力条件，使OMTEC能够评估扩大规模所需的条件 在加拿大生产印刷电路板。

OMTEC Inc has established a leadership position in Canada as a supplier of wheat straw for applications in thermoplastic composites. The company is Canadian based and owned. The company has plans to extend its manufacturing plant in Ontario to produce cellulose press boards. This research project will investigate the utilization of natural fibers in the manufacturing of press boards for application in high voltage insulators. This research will provide knowledge required to scale up and determination of manufacturing conditions on a commercial scale. The research carried out at the University of Waterloo will focus on selection of straw fiber parameters, formulation and press conditions to allow OMTEC to evaluate the conditions required to scale up the manufacturing of press boards in Canada.
