The raw material for pulping, wood, is received, stored and processed in a largely outdoor area of the mill called the woodyard. Wood may be received as whole logs, or as wood chips. While the operations performed in the woodyard are apparently quite basic, how well they perform is quite important to the successful operation of the pulp mill. Mistakes made in the woodyard can have a significant overall economic impact. This module describes the three major operations in the woodyard: removal of bark, chipping or grinding of logs into smaller pieces, and storage and retrieval of chips.

The following key questions are answered in this module:
Why does bark need to be removed from logs prior to pulping?Bark contains dirt which will cause equipment wear and has high levels of resin and extractives which will consume disproportionate amounts of cooking and bleaching chemicals.
What is the most common type of debarker currently used?The drum type debarker is the most common type of debarker.
What advantage do belt conveyors have over pneumatic chip transport systems?Conveyor belt systems do not break and degrade the chips as much as pneumatic systems.
What is one of biggest problems encountered with long term chip storage?Being an organic material, wood chips are subject to attack and breakdown by microorganisms during storage.
What are some advantages of an automated chip storage and retrieval system?Automated storage and retrieval minimizes physical damage to the chips caused by loader traffic, and also assures a more uniform storage time.
