Green wood is wood that has been recently cut and therefore has not had an opportunity to season (dry) by evaporation of the internal moisture. Green wood contains more moisture than seasoned wood, which has been dried through passage of time or by forced drying in kilns. Green wood is considered to have 100% moisture content relative to air-dried or seasoned wood which is considered to be 20%. Energy density charts for wood fuels tend to use air-dried wood as their reference, thus oven-dried or 0% moisture content can reflect 103.4% energy content.
The present disclosure provides a method of drying and dyeing wood, the method comprising feeding a green wood having a varying moisture content into an oven and drying the green wood in the oven. The residence time of the biomass in the oven and the temperature of the oven are selected according to a time and temperature profile based on the pre-dryingmoisture content of the biomass to produce dry surface wood having a moisture content of about 15% or less at the dry surface. The method further includes conveying the dried surface wood to a dyeing chamber and directly dyeing all sides of the dried surface wood after the drying. A system for carrying out the method and a dyed wood product produced according to the method are also contemplated.
