Abstract: A facility for processing CO2 from a high-output CO2 source includes at least one CO2 distribution system having a supply circuit comprising an inlet end connected to the high-output CO2 source for collecting and storing the CO2, and an outlet end; drying means for drying in a CO2 atmosphere, connected to the CO2 distribution system, and configured to process said CO2 thus distributed during a drying operation and comprising storage means connected on the one hand to the outlet end of the supply circuit and on the other hand to the drying means, said storage means being configured to temporarily store the CO2 from the high-output CO2 source for later processing of said CO2.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the thermal drying of wood using a drying plant comprising: a drying chamber (1); means for supplying CO2 (3) at a selected pressure and temperature; circulation means (307, 203) for forcing the circulation of the gaseous fluid; heating means (2) for heating the gaseous heat transfer fluid; extraction means (4) for extracting the air inside the drying chamber 1; metrology means (5) for measuring variations in the physical measurements of the drying plant during heating; and operating means (6) for controlling the means used according to programs, adapted to the quality of the dried wood sought, and processing means for readjusting the operating parameters.
