sawdust fueled direct fired continuous dry kilns
(1/1)
Craig Jensen:
Anyone here have experience with sawdust fueled direct fired continuous dry kilns for softwoods? I have been asked by my superiors about them, and all I have is a basic theoretical understanding. No actual experience with the concept.
Looking for pros, cons, advantages, disadvantages, and things a newbie might not expect.
Has anyone installed them in the current MACT environment and if so, any ideas on the emissions side?
Thanks in advance.

Craig,
I can't comment on the emissions from a direct-fire kiln. I will say that the MACT regulations are implemented at the state level. Any direct-fired continuous kiln is likely to be in the Southern U.S. Their regulators may have a different take on the subject than regulators in your state (I'm assuming you're in the West when I say that). Please let us know what you find out.
