Engineers involved in paper making wet end chemistry will want to mark June 4-6 on the calendar. The 2012 TAPPI Introduction to Wet-End Chemistry course takes place soon at TAPPI headquarters in Norcross, Georgia, USA. This course will help you get up to speed on the latest technology and terminology you need for optimum papermaking performance.

Instructors for this course know that cost savings is ultimately your mark for a strong finish, so they focus the 3-day interactive training on innovative wet-end chemistry principals and the use of additives to change or create new paper products.

Through case studies, break-out sessions and networking with others in the course, you'll learn how to: · Implement new technology into your mill's wet-end process to reach higher efficiency and yield consistent, quality products ·

Use chemicals and other additives to change or create new products and maximize machine capacity ·

Put the brakes on machine downtime and off-specification products ·

Make better judgments on selection and use of papermaking chemicals ·

Better troubleshoot problems on the paper machines ·

 Get up to speed on the challenges papermakers face due to changing fiber qualities, regulations and competitive pressures
