2009 EPE Proceedings Now Available
TAPPI's 2009 Engineering, Pulping, and Environmental Conference in Memphis last October featured an excellent program of sessions designed to help mills run more effectively and efficiently. Thanks to TAPPI Press, even if you missed the conference, you won't have to miss out entirely: 2009 EPE Conference Proceedings are now available. Highlights include:
- Business Trends that explored global shifts in supply and demand, along with worldwide investment trends within the industry.
- A Pulping Track to help mills achieve high contribution, low-cost pulping operations without negatively affecting yield or quality. There were also separate sub-tracks for pulping, bleaching, recycling and non-woods themes.
- An Engineering Track with four complete sub-tracks covering energy, power and recovery; corrosion and materials; biorefinery; and maintenance and mill operations.
- An Environmental Track focused on how mills should respond to the shifting environmental and regulatory landscape.
The 2009 TAPPI EPE Conference Proceedings CD-ROM is fully searchable and includes the written papers, presentation slides, and poster session from most of the sessions. Check the online Table of Contents to learn more about this excellent value.
The List Price for this complete Proceedings is US$111; the TAPPI Member Price is only US$74 (a savings of 33%.) If you are not already a TAPPI member, you can join and receive the discount. For details, visit www.tappi.org/join.
Corrugators Have A New Safety Resource
Because safety requires ongoing effort, here is good news for corrugators looking for safety training. There is an important new tool called the SafetyFirst DVD.
Available in both English and Spanish, this DVD directly addresses safety concerns and safe practices in corrugated manufacturing facilities. It is a great source for training new employees and a valuable refresher for industry veterans. Topics included are:
- General safety
- Flexo folder-gluer safety
- Diecutter safety
- Stacker safety
- Material handling safety
- Corrugator safety
By special arrangement with the Association of Independent Corrugated Converters (AICC), TAPPI members can purchase this DVD for the same reduced rate as AICC members. Order details are online.
Special note: Disponible en español, también. Available in Spanish, too.
