Survey of Southern Pulpmill Wood Yards, 1994 Pulping Conference Proceedings
Alastair Twaddle
A survey of southern pulpmill wood yards was undertaken by the Fiber Recovery and Utilization Group within the Department of Forestry at Mississippi State University in 1993. A multi-page questionnaire requesting details of roundwood handling, debarking, chipping, chip screening and chip handling equipment and procedures was sent to yards whom had previously made a commitment to participate. Each mill was also requested to send a series of chips samples. Ultimately 62 southern pulpmill wood yards completed and returned the survey form.
The results of the summarization of the questionnaire are presented in a variety of tables and figures.
