  text: One obstacle to the industrial processing of oil palm wood is its nearly water-saturated
    state in green condition and its high tendency to develop cell collapse during
    kiln drying. This study analyzed mechanical dewatering by flat compression as
    an alternative pre-drying method for wet oil palm sawn timber. In the process,
    boards 700 mm long were compressed at ratios of 40% and 60% using a laboratory
    press, which resulted in water extraction of the free water varying between 38–52%
    and 60–73%, respectively. Since unperforated press plates were used, the water
    could only escape over the crosscut and long edges. The extent to which the crosscut
    and long edges were involved in dewatering was examined, and found to depend on
    the position of the board in the trunk due to the different water permeability
    conditions at the different heights. Permeability measurements, therefore, were
    carried out on cylindrical specimens using a specifically designed testing device.
    For the analysis of the hydrostatic pressure development in the boards, three
    pressure transducers were installed at different distances to the crosscut at
    half board thickness. The analysis of the recovery of compression showed, that
    the boards recovered to a large extend immediately after compression.
