Would you like a broader understanding of pulp and paper manufacturing?

Attend the TAPPI Hands-On Workshop for Pulp and Paper Basics, March 7-11, 2011, and learn through actual hands-on laboratory exercises at the facilities of North Carolina State University.

Using a combination of balanced lectures and laboratories, this workshop will give you an easy-to-learn and lasting introduction to pulp and paper technology, operations and markets.

You will learn to:

- Discuss the structure and chemistry of wood
- Analyze the chip preparation operation
- Describe chemical and mechanical pulping processes
- Demonstrate understanding of pulp processing operations
- Identify the stages and operations of bleaching
- Discuss the importance of chemical recovery in a pulp mill
- Become familiar with waste treatment and environmental regulation
- Identify the major grades and properties of paper
- Discuss stock preparation and the approach system
- Explain the operation of the wet end and dry end of the paper machine
- Understand basic converting operations
- Discuss the recycling of paper

Register here to reserve your seat early because this workshop generally is booked three weeks in advance.

This workshop is especially beneficial for new process engineers, manufacturing operators and technicians who want to understand more fully how raw materials are processed into products. Individuals who wish to broaden their knowledge of the processes through basic laboratory and pilot paper machine experiences also benefit from this course, as well as sales and service personnel, machine operators and maintenance personnel who need to better appreciate paper machine operations by conducting a pilot paper machine trial.

Stock up on CEUs. You'll earn 3.7 continuing education credits at the completion of this course. We look forward to seeing you at the Hands-On Workshop for Pulp and Paper Basics in March.
