The Wood CCA Treatment Process
Vacuum Pressure Treatment- the wood is placed into an airtight steel cylinder and immersed in a preservative. Increasing pressure drives the chemical into the wood. There are full cell and empty cell processes.
The full cell process provides maximum retention of the preservative. A preliminary vacuum removes as much air from the wood as possible so that it will accept more liquid preservative. The heated preservative enters the cylinder without adding air. Then, pressure is applied until the required amount of preservative is retained by the wood.
The empty-cell process obtains deep penetration with a relatively low retention of preservative. First, the wood in the cylinder is subjected to air under pressure. Then the preservative is forced into the cylinder and air escapes into an equalizer tank at a rate that keeps pressure in the cylinder constant. When the cylinder is filled with preservative, the pressure is increased until the required amount of preservative has entered the wood.
