Abstract: The proposed invention relates to a method for fluid treatment of wood comprising the steps of placing the wood in an airtight tank, evacuating the airtight tank to establish a vacuum environment for the wood, applying a fluid to the wood. Additionally, the method may further comprise the subsequent step of pressurizing the airtight tank to establish a pressurized environment for the wood. The method may further comprise the subsequent step of subjecting the wood to a subsequent heating, and/or the prior step of subjecting the wood to a prior heating by electromagnetic radiation through one or more electrodes.
