The TAPPI Corrosion & Materials Engineering Committee will be conducting a free, one-day seminar at the Holiday Inn Express, Sylacauga, AL, on TIPs and topics relating to the identification and control of corrosion within the pulp and paper mill processes. This will be a fantastic opportunity for all mill personnel -- engineers to maintenance to operations to management -- to receive critical information that may help detect and prevent costly, and possibly dangerous, situations at the mill. If you have questions on real corrosion problems, bring them for discussion. No cost to attend, but please register so we can be sure to have enough room and plan for lunch.
