The following paper defines and analyses the methods of experimental wood treatment and considers some of the ways of timber preservation with respect to improving the quality of timber performance. The authors have studied various hardwoods. When producing test prototypes, the method of paired samples was used. The researchers have analyzed the experimental results of various wood treatment and produced recommendations concerning the choice of timber treatment methods. The paper defines the possibility of using timber borating as a protective means. The authors have obtained the absorption rate and volume parameters for treatment solutions such as water and boric acid and conducted experimental verification of protective ability of compacted wood soaked in a boric acid solution when exposed to neutron fluxes of different densities. Following the experimental research program and methods, the researchers have tested the method of counter-centrifuge timber treatment in the centrifugal force field in a production environment and at a pilot research station, produced recommendations for the use of anti-centrifugal timber treatment in the centrifugal force field and defined the modes for wood treatment on the pilot and production equipment. The authors have also considered the technological methods of wood treatment process resulting from liquid pressure in the rotating impregnating cylinder, obtained experimental findings and produced the succeeding recommendations based on the results of studying counter-centrifugal timber treatment. The researchers have worked through the method of experimental studies combined with a comparative analysis of protective characteristics of samples of timber and protective materials, as well as made conclusions classifying the methods of wood treatment according to three main physical phenomena occurring during timber treatment. The paper defines the qualitative and quantitative rates of wood preservation treatment. During the experiments the researchers have obtained the results characterizing the shortcomings of some wood treatment methods and inefficient treatment methods, defined the inapplicable methods in the production of neutron protective materials, obtained the results of counter-centrifugal treatment method studies and made appropriate conclusions. The researchers have also described the optimizing technological processes of timber treatment techniques under pressure, with the use of autoclave method and the method based on the soaking liquid penetrating the timber under the pressure of centrifugal forces. The paper offers technical solutions of reducing energy consumption during wood treatment by eliminating the costs of creating pressure in the soaking liquid. This approach simplifies the manufacturing process of timber loading and unloading and provides for increased productivity of wood treatment.
