Raw Material Properties and Refining Processes

About this programme

This is the first course in the master’s program Industrial Wood Supply Mangement. It focuses on the properties of forest-based biomass materials for processing based on end-user requirements. The course covers traditional forest industrial products as well as various types of future products, in the form of e.g. fuels and refined products. The course content provides the students with knowledge of processing technology and in-depth understanding of the role of raw material properties in forest industrial supply. The course can mostly be completed on distance, but has a compulsory meeting during one week in Umeå. All other teaching also takes place from the campus in Umeå, where infrastructure is provided for students who are physically present. The equivalent of 120 credits 60 credits within one of the following subjects/disciplinary domains - forestry science - forest science - forest management - forest and wood engineering 15 credits within forest technology, wood science/wood technology English 6. The grade requirements within the course grading system are set out in specific criteria. These criteria must be available by the course start at the latest.
