Ontario straw board manufacturing for energy applications

OMTEC公司已经建立了一个领导地位，在加拿大作为一个供应商的小麦秸秆的应用inthermoplastic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制造厂，以生产纤维素压纸板。本研究计画将探讨天然纤维在高压绝缘子用压板制造中的应用，并提供扩大生产规模所需的知识，以及决定商业规模的制造条件。在滑铁卢大学进行的研究将集中在秸秆纤维参数，配方和压榨条件的选择，使OMTEC能够评估在加拿大扩大压榨板制造所需的条件。

OMTEC Inc has established a leadership position in Canada as a supplier of wheat straw for applications inthermoplastic composites. The company is Canadian based and owned. The company has plans to extend itsmanufacturing plant in Ontario to produce cellulose press boards. This research project will investigate theutilization 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 acommercial scale. The research carried out at the University of Waterloo will focus on selection of straw fiberparameters, formulation and press conditions to allow OMTEC to evaluate the conditions required to scale upthe manufacturing of press boards in Canada.
