subject: wood drying equipment [print this page] The effluent produced during the wood drying equipment process or during cleaning of the kilns creates a potential environmental hazard when discharged into rivers, lakes or other natural surroundings. States have therefore begun to ban or consider banning the discharge of water from the operation of kilns into the environment. As a result, wood drying facilities are faced with the prospect of shutting down for lack of a solution to the problem of disposing of kiln water.
