See who all is attending the upcoming PEERS and IBBC conferences in Savannah, Ga., USA:

About PEERS:

PEERS is a "must attend" event for anyone seeking to make their mill run more efficiently. The Pulping Program focuses on ways to improve kraft pulping to afford pulps that are more uniform in quality and to afford higher pulp yields. The Engineering Program has added a focused one-day session focusing on OpEx Maintenance and Reliability. The Environmental Program will address the challenges and costs involved in keeping up with the regulations of the U.S. paper industry. The Recycling Program brings together experts from around the world to present new technological breakthroughs related to fractional pulping, absorption deinking and electrostatic deinking. Keynote Speaker Don Roberts will discuss why the pulp and paper industry should be open to change by presenting a case study in commercializing an emerging bio-energy technology and the key success factors as part of the Sustainability Program.

Your investment of time and money will go far with the full program of both educational and career networking opportunities presented at PEERS 2012.



PEERS will be co-located with IBBC 2012, the only conference that is dedicated to examining applications of biorefineries in the pulp and paper industry - offering you a deeper analysis of technology and economics in commercializing biorefineries. See the Full Program.
