Log cost allocation for multiple mill merchandising systems

Creator:: Leatherman, Louis M.
Abstract:: Co-located mills that share a log resource through a single merchandising facility are challenged with the task of allocating the costs of joint-products in order to determine log cost for each mill during a given period. While allocating joint-costs is inherently arbitrary, some allocation must be made to include raw...
Resource Type:: Capstone Project
Full Text:: evaluated. This method attempts to apply a market price to log usage at the veneer mill, while

Life Cycle Assessment of Biomass for Generation of energy : Case Studies of Poplar Management in the Pacific Northwest of the U.S.A.

Creator:: Vasquez Sandoval, Marcia A.
Abstract:: A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of the production of poplar biomass grown under four management conditions in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) of the U.S.A. was conducted. While the extraction of fossil fuels and the subsequent generation of energy have environmental impacts, the alternative of extracting poplar biomass also has impacts...

Sustainable bio-composites for west coast highways

Creator:: Karas, Michael
Abstract:: Wildfire prevention operations like forest thinning and forest fuel removal result in large volumes of woody biomass available for utilization. In 2007 alone, the US federal government spent nearly $2 billion to fight forest fires on federal lands. Annually, the USDA Forest Service spends $1 billion to thin young trees...

Modeling the fixed bed drying characteristics of biomass particles

Creator:: Yang, Hai
Abstract:: The fixed bed drying of western hemlock and Douglas-fir biomass particles at temperatures ranging from 50°C to 200°C and air velocities from 0.3 to 0.9 m/s was investigated. The objectives were to describe the drying characteristics of the particles, fit a model for thin-layer drying, and develop and test a...

Numerical simulation of wood drying

Creator:: Berberovic, Adin
Abstract:: A mathematical and then a numerical model were developed for simulating a convective batch lumber drying process. The model incorporates mass and heat transfer relationships within the lumber stack, as well as thermodynamic properties of the wood and drying air. It takes into account a change of air properties along...

Performance of wood frame wall with thin shell ECC shear panel

Creator:: Lewis, Michael C.
Abstract:: The overall goal of this study was to evaluate an alternative to traditional wood framed shear wall construction. This study introduced the innovative idea of using a water and seismic damage resistant, wood-concrete- composite (WCC) construction instead of an all-wood design. The WCC design consisted of a thin shell of...

Wood treatment by double-diffusion using copper sulfate and sodium fluoride

Creator:: Pavia-Jones, K. Josephine
Abstract:: In investigating wood treatment as a possible processing option for Alaska forest products manufacturers, the double-diffusion method using sodium fluoride followed by a copper sulfate appeared to be the most advantageous approach. Yet, little information was available as to the chemical retention after treating and its resistance to leaching. Green...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: any one mill, often less than 1 MMBF per year, results in a high capital cost per unit treated
