The TAPPI Nonwovens Engineers & Technologists Division presents two upcoming webinars hosted by the Binders & Additives Committee that preview sessions of the NETInc, Innovative Nonwovens Conference program in Nashville, Tenn., USA, on April 27-30.
The first is "Process Foam: What, Why, and How to Attack" on Thursday, February 13, at 12:00 p.m. EST hosted by Chris Sharpe of ESP Foam Control. This webinar will provide an examination of the causes, symptoms, and challenges with foam generation in nonwovens processing. An overview of the technologies associated with foam control will be offered, with a focus on chemical foam control additives. The mechanisms and methodology of chemical foam control will be reviewed, transitioning into descriptions and selection of modeling techniques to aid in the selection of optimum additives for the formulator’s specific needs.

The second is "Biocides in White Water Systems: Maximizing System Performance While Minimizing Costs" hosted by Chris Baron of Ashland Water Technologies on Thursday, March 20, at 12:00 p.m. EST. This webinar will explain how the presence and proliferation of microbes such as algae, bacteria, and fungi in the wet end of a nonwovens fabric machine can slow production, create undesirable odors, consume value process additives, and lead to increased corrosion rates. Growth of such microbes is generally controlled through the addition of chemicals in the wet end. This presentation discusses the common chemical microbiological control technologies that are employed against microbes and compares the effectiveness of each type of chemistry. The methods used to monitor the performance of chemical microbiological control programs will also be discussed.
