1. Scope and Applicability

Applies to finished uncoated, unpreserved wood waferboard made from broad thin flakes with declared geometry and randomly falling layup, bonded with powdered uncured PF resole under heat and pressure. No deliberately oriented face or cross-oriented layer architecture is allowed; incidental alignment from gravity is disclosed and measured. The supported pilot uses externally supplied steam for indirect drying/press heating, electric handling and dry dust collection. Onsite combustion, direct-fired drying, thermal oxidation, wet scrubbers, sanding, coatings/overlays, fire retardants, preservatives, other binders and wax emulsions require separate applicability and inventory review. [epa-waferboard-2002; usda-waferboard-types-1986]

Wafer width, length, thickness and orientation distribution distinguish the product from fine-particle UF particleboard and long narrow deliberately layered OSB. Broad use of the word particleboard in historical technical literature includes waferboard; that linguistic overlap does not make these production methods interchangeable. Oriented waferboard and an Aspenite trade name are insufficient to establish this random architecture. [usda-waferboard-types-1986; epa-waferboard-2002]

Real product anchors are the photographed wide-wafer board in FPL-GTR-53, Figure 2, printed p.5, and commercial Canadian powder-resin waferboards W1–W7 in FPL-RP-574, Table 1, printed p.2 (1985 samples, reported 1999). The latter report calls these minimally aligned waferboards and includes W4 from Ontario. These are product-existence evidence, not a claim that W4 has this PF chemistry, species, fully random manufacturing settings or steam route. Those facts must be established for the actual site. Historical grades, test dimensions and strengths are not present-day defaults or legal acceptance criteria. No universal wafer dimension, moisture, recipe, density, service life or energy/emission factor is assigned. [usda-commercial-panels-1999; usda-waferboard-types-1986]

same_denominatorall inventory rowsReference product masskgEvery row uses per 1 kg reference flow; sum actual attributable period totals and divide by Q, the net accepted finished-board mass from cp_reference.
moisture_basiswood and boardMasskgFor untreated wood collect wet and ovendry mass: u=(wet-dry)/dry, dry=wet/(1+u). Distinguish percent from fractions and wet-basis moisture. For bonded panels use a validated moisture method distinguishing water loss from volatile/cure losses; wood dry mass excludes binder/wax solids. [usda-wood-moisture-2021]

disclosureGate-to-gate foreground plus explicit upstream links for cradle-to-gate use. Installation, use and end of life are separately modelled. Disclose capital equipment/cut-offs and any missing supply activity.

Use one integrated foreground unit p_wafer through packing. Preserve independent stage records s_receive (yard/thaw/debark/crosscut), s_wafer (waferizing), s_dry (indirect drying and screening), s_blend (powder PF/neat wax), s_form (gravity random forming), s_press, s_finish (cooling/trim), s_pack and s_control (dry collection/cleaning). Internal transfer pairs must agree in actual quantity and state; no intermediate board shares the final reference UUID. [epa-waferboard-2002]
