In Field Drying offers the opportunity for woody biomass energy to increase in supply and decrease in cost. Landowners, loggers, and producers all stand to benefit from natural drying processes. NCSU has worked to document the drying schedules of logging residues, the time and energy use in microchipping green and dried logging residues, and scanning moisture content at the truck dump. By participating in this webinar you will develop a better understanding of how in-field drying lowers energy delivery costs, increases the supply of energy, and decreases the costs associated with material that requires additional drying. Participants will also hear from Process Sensors Corporation and the various industries that currently use Near Infrared Transmitters and their involvement with this in field drying research project. Participants will also learn about the current research with time and motion studies and drying schedules of feasible field stacking techniques.
