You will gain a broader knowledge base, enabling you to perform your role more effectively. If you seek a comprehensive understanding of paper industry operations, from woodyard to final product, this workshop is ideal for you.

What will you learn?

You will be provided with the opportunity to learn how different processes affect paper properties, perform lab experiments to enhance your understanding of processes and run a pilot-plant paper machine. The workshop structure includes morning presentations and hands-on laboratory exercises in the afternoons.Topics covered include wood structure and chemistry, chemical and mechanical pulping operations, stock preparation and the significance of chemical recovery and environmental regulations in pulp mills. 

What former participants had to say:

• "The information was detailed and easily understood by both engineers and non-engineers.  I will definitely suggest the course to others!"
• "This is an excellent course; providing an intense overview of the entire papermaking process."
• "The experiments that were conducted were very supportive of the lecture component of the class and made a big difference in my level of understanding."
