Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Distillation of Hardwoods in Canada The plants reflect the gradual growth of the industry over a long period of year. The demand for acetone, methyl hydrate, formalin, and other hardwood distillation products was very great throughout the war period and the industry served the nation in the war crisis to an extent that few realize. The industry enjoys the benefits of competent centralized control and is in a position to make the most of the situation within the limits of the uncertain economic and trade conditions that exist. It is gratifying to note that manufacture is carried beyond the stage of the crude products, where so many of Canada´s industrial activities cease, and that the specially refined and derived chemicals are produced in Canada for domestic and export trade. It is a significant fact that a single well organized company handles practically all operations from the cutting of the wood to the manufacture and sale of the finished chemicals. Furthermore, the industry is now on a satisfactory basis of technical control, and science is being applied to the further development of derived products originating in the crude wood distillation. In the United States the crude plants have in general remained as separate units, while independent refineries, chemical plants, and selling agencies have largely handled the further manufacture and distribution. While conditions in the two countries differ in many respects, the industry in the United States is so large that Canada naturally has to follow more or less in the matter of practice, prices, and trade. Taking a world view of the industry, we find that the United States controls over 60 percent of the output. Canada has about one-tenth of the capacity of the United States or from 6 to 8 percent of the total. The remainder is to be found largely in Europe, principally in the central states. As a basis for rough calculation it may be estimated that the worlds capacity is something like 7,000 cords of wood per day or approximately 2,000,000 cords per year. Hardwood distillation may be looked upon as a minor key industry, because a number of the products cannot be produced by other means and are of an essential nature. Methyl hydrate (wood alcohol) is most significant, as wood is still the only commercial source of this widely used material.
