Subject field(s)
  • Wood Sawing
DEF

A type of certificate issued by sawmill operators which ensures that sawn timber (particularly pine wood) exported to other countries is thoroughly barked, so it cannot be infested by insects.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sciage du bois
DEF

Certificat émis par les scieries canadiennes garantissant que les sciages (ceux des conifères en particulier) devant être exportés seront exempts d'écorce, en raison des dangers possibles d'infestation par les nématodes.

Record 3 2007-08-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Burners and Steamfitting
  • Biomass Energy
DEF

A type of biomass combustion burner in which a pile of fuel burns on the grates.

OBS

Primary combustion air comes from above the grates, not below.

CONT

The boilers are fed wood fuel from the main fuel bin located adjacent to the boiler house. The boilers are the "pile burner" type, which burn wood in a large pile on the floor of a refractory lined furnace box. Combustion efficiency with this type of boiler is generally low but pile burners are simple and therefore relatively inexpensive. Low combustion efficiency also means that emissions such as particulates and carbon monoxide are relatively high. One notable advantage to these systems is that high moisture content fuels can be burned as well as "dirty" fuels containing debris.

CONT

Pile burner : Boilers incorporating a pile burning design find applications where the anticipated wood fuel has a high(up to 65%) relative moisture content, as is found in whole green tree chips, bark, and green mill residue. Grates serve to support the fuel, and underfire air flowing up through the grates provides oxygen for combustion, cools the grates, promotes turbulence in the fuel bed, and dries the fuel. The most common form of pile burning is the Dutch oven, which was used almost exclusively during the early part of the century(Guinn and Turner 1990).

Record 4 2003-10-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Metrology and Units of Measure
  • Wood Industries
  • Biomass Energy
DEF

An amount of wood that weighs 2000 lb at 0% moisture content.

CONT

In order to facilitate the interpretation of the data collected from the various mills, the total wood input to the mill was converted to oven dry tons(ODT) and all residue generated in the form of bark, sawdust and fines, and shavings have also been reduced to oven dry tons. Input wood tonnages are calculated from test data obtained from certain of the mills visited, as well as by wood measure to solid wood conversion factors used by some of the mills visited.

Key term(s)
  • bone dry ton
  • bone-dry tonne
  • BD-tonne

  • Industrie du bois
  • Énergie de la biomasse
CONT

Par ordre de coût et de disponibilité, la biomasse forestière se présente sous forme de résidus des scieries, de déchets forestiers et de bois de chauffage. Selon les estimations, la production est de 7,5, 31 et 72 tonnes anhydres par année respectivement.
