Innovation is the focus of TAPPI’s Introduction to Wet End Chemistry Course taking place June 10-12 in Metro Atlanta, Ga., USA. Registration is underway now for this course, which is expected to sell out soon at 25 participants.
This is an interactive, three-day training course focused on innovative wet end chemistry principals and the use of additives to change or create new paper products. It’s the only training program available that offers an in-depth focus on additives and what they can and can't do on the paper machine.
"We specifically added a new section dealing with interactions, which considers examples where two different components of the system seem to ‘fight’ with each other," notes Course Chair, Martin Hubbe, North Carolina State University.
This course is ideal for engineers involved in training particularly at mills with newer employees or that have lost valuable experience through retirement. Many chemical engineers don’t have a background in pulp and paper manufacturing and may not understand how to apply what they’ve learned to the papermaking wet end process.
