Abstract: The method can include the steps of: providing a given current across each one of a plurality of current paths linking two opposite faces of the anode, the current paths being dispersed along a median plane located between the two opposite faces; measuring a voltage value independently across each one of a plurality of voltage paths linking the two opposite faces of the anode, each one of the plurality of voltage paths being positioned adjacent to a corresponding one of the current paths and forming a corresponding pair therewith, the path pairs thus being dispersed along the median plane; and processing an independent resistivity value for each one of the path pairs based at least on its given current and its measured voltage value.

Abstract: There is provided a method of treating wood in a treatment chamber. A plurality of wood pieces are provided in the treatment chamber. The wood pieces are positioned in a spaced-apart wood array configuration and define a non-linear path therebetween for circulating a gas flow. A gas flow is then circulated along the non-linear path between the wood pieces in a general gas flow direction.
