The introduction of a comprehensive energy-saving program saved DP "Volynlis" 500 thousand hryvnias in 2003. As the chief forester of the "Volynlis" association reported in an interview with the local press, in 2004 it is planned to save no less than 750 thousand hryvnias. Thus, at the wood-processing complex of the Tsuman state forestry enterprise, over the past three years an Italian band sawmill frame with computerized setting of sawing parameters has been purchased, a set for longitudinal sawing "MEBOR" with laser determination of saw cut edges, a line for processing low-value assortments and manufacturing blanks for European pallets, modern equipment for the production of parquet, lamella, three Austrian drying chambers of 45 cubic meters each. Thanks to this, the output of products from one cubic meter of wood has tripled. In the first quarter of this year, it was sold for a total of 2.3 million hryvnias. The entire steam facility of the forestry enterprise that services production operates exclusively on sawdust and waste. "The introduction of these measures has yielded tangible results and saved significant funds, and also increased the efficiency of using raw material resources," says the director of the Tsuman state forestry enterprise, Viktor Slyva. As the chief forester of the "Volynlis" association, Anatolii Hetmanchuk, reported, in other state forestry enterprises, just as in Tsuman, steam is also produced by burning sawdust and small wood waste. They go to boiler houses, which have been reconstructed everywhere, with a high coefficient of efficiency and heat output. In addition, special meters have been installed that automatically cut off electricity at production facilities that are not currently operating. In the drying facility, the conversion of steam boilers to hot-water boilers is ongoing, which significantly reduces the consumption of energy carriers with the same effect. In almost every forestry enterprise, high-productivity Polish lines for manufacturing pallet blanks have been installed. This made it possible, by reducing the sawing thickness, to significantly increase the output of commercial wood. And also to significantly reduce electricity consumption, since the electric drive of these lines is insignificant. If previously 400 cubic meters of wood were used for 100 cubic meters of pallets, now it is 200, that is, a hectare of forest is preserved. In order to save wood, in the Kivertsi and Manevychi state forestry enterprises, lines for wood splicing have been installed, and in Ratne and Kivertsi - for the production of veneer, plywood and glued board.
