  • Evaluation of six tools for estimating woody biomass moisture content

    Creator:
    Becerra Ochoa, Fernando Amador
    Abstract:
    Woody biomass transportation costs and market values/costs are strongly correlated with the woody biomass moisture content. Properly managing moisture content can potentially lead to economic and environmental advantages in biomass energy markets. Good management requires accurate moisture content measurements. Therefore, availability of accurate, precise, reliable, and efficient tools to assess...

  • An investigation of factors affecting the optimal output log distribution from mechanical harvesting and processing systems

    Creator:
    Marshall, Hamish Douglas
    Abstract:
    Globally the forest harvesting industry is becoming increasingly mechanized. Driving this trend is the desire to increase productivity and reduce cost, as well as to improve labor-related issues. With mechanization comes an in-forest platform for the introduction of state-of-the-art communication and measurement technologies, and powerful on-board computers. These systems have...

  • In-forest log segregation based on acoustic measurement of wood stiffness

    Creator:
    Amishev, Dzhamal Y.
    Abstract:
    To remain competitive, the forest products industry needs to look for new and innovative processes and technologies to not only reduce costs but also to recover more value through the entire seedling-to-customer forest products supply chain. It is well recognized that measuring wood properties of logs in real time during...
