NOVELTY - The system comprises a dryer for receiving wood chips and for heating wood pellets at a temperature that generates a gas that includes water and turpentine, a filter for receiving the gas from the dryer and for removing any particulates, a condenser (116) that receives the filtered gas and condenses the gas to a condensate, a decanter (124) for receiving the condensate and for separating the water from the turpentine, a storage tank (132), a treatment system, and a gas cooler (120). The filter is a cyclone separator, and a wet electrostatic precipitator.    USE - The system is useful for extracting turpentine during a pelletizing process, where the turpentine is useful for manufacturing wood chips, wood pellets or other substances.    ADVANTAGE - The system is capable of completely extracting turpentine thus maintaining pulp quality, minimizing consumption of the mill's prime steam usage and optimizing turpentine recovery.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The system comprises a dryer for receiving wood chips and for heating wood pellets at a temperature that generates a gas that includes water and turpentine, a filter for receiving the gas from the dryer and for removing any particulates, a condenser (116) that receives the filtered gas and condenses the gas to a condensate, a decanter (124) for receiving the condensate and for separating the water from the turpentine, a storage tank (132), a treatment system, and a gas cooler (120). The filter is a cyclone separator, and a wet electrostatic precipitator. The decanter comprises a first outlet for removing turpentine from the decanter, and a second outlet for removing water and other materials. The storage tank is arranged for receiving the turpentine from the first outlet of the decanter. The treatment system receives the water and other materials from the second outlet of the decanter. The gas cooler receives gas from the condenser that is not converted into condensate, cools the gas to condense it prior to delivering the condensed gas to the decanter, and includes a vent for outputting volatile organic compound. The dryer: includes two stages, where the first stage of the dryer heats the wood chips to a temperature of less than 428 degrees F for extracting the turpentine and the second stage heats the wood chips to a temperature of 600-800 degrees F for extracting water and other materials from the wood chips; and is operated in two phases, where the temperature of the dryer remains below the auto-ignite temperature of turpentine during the first phase, and the temperature of the dryer exceeds the auto-ignite temperature of turpentine during a second phase. The temperature and the exposure time of the wood chips in the two stages are adjusted. The temperature in the first stage is less than the auto-ignite temperature of turpentine. INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for:    (1) a method for the recovery of turpentine from a wood processing system; and    (2) a method for modifying a wood processing system to aid in the recovery of turpentine.
