Kiln Dried Sawdust?

Kiln Dried Sawdust?

Kiln Dried Sawdust?

(OP)
I was wondering if anyone has experience using kiln dried sawdust for moisture control as opposed to cement kiln dust.  Any help is appreciated!

RE: Kiln Dried Sawdust?

I do not have direct experience, but many years of observing physical, thermal effects on many materials, I offer the following.

Kiln dried sawdust will give a "mild" drying effect.

Cement kiln dust will give a "large" drying effect.

Many tables show cellulose vs. equilibrium data.  Books have been written on the subject.  Do a literature search.  Not so many tables for kiln dust, but the Portland Cement Institute maintains good library information on such data.  It's worth a look.


RE: Kiln Dried Sawdust?

What type of moisture control? On what environment? What are you trying to extract the moisture from? We use klin dried sawdust extensively to stabilize drilled cutting from O&G operations.
