The 32nd Annual
Kiln Drying Short Course will be held August 3-6, 2009 at the University
of Minnesota, St. Paul Campus. The University of Minnesota’s
Department of Bioproducts and Biosystems Engineering sponsors the course
in cooperation with the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Department
of Forest Ecology and Management, and the Great Lakes Kiln Drying Association.
The course is designed to provide basic training for dry kiln operators and supervisors, but anyone desiring to learn more about kiln construction, kiln operation and wood-moisture relations is welcome and encouraged to attend. No previous drying experience or training is necessary.
Instruction will include lectures, demonstrations and “hands on” kiln drying experience. Conventional kiln drying of hardwood lumber will be emphasized; however, dehumidification drying, solar drying and air-drying will also be covered. Ample time will be available for group interaction as well as individual consultation.
