Funded Activity Summary

Exploiting Resonance in Improving Dried Timber Quality by Optimizing Cyclic Drying Processes in Solar Kilns. Maximizing the value of final dried timber is essential for maximizing the economic benefits for Australia. If 10% of one million cubic metres of sawn hardwood timber produced annually in Australia increases its value raised by $500/m3, then the potential direct gain to Australian companies is over A$50 million per year. Multiplier effects include future applications to the drying of foods, where the potential benefit in using solar kilns is a reduction in CO2 emissions of at least a million tonnes of CO2 per year, and a potential cost reduction of A$38 million per year.
