TAPPI Introduction to Pulp and July 31-August 3, 2006, Atlanta, Georgia WHO Who Should Attend? The general nature of this course makes it ideal for people who are new to the pulp and paper industry, professionals seeking a broad overview of the industry, operators seeking more fundamental knowledge, and non-technical personnel in areas such as sales, marketing, administration and management. OVERVIEW Course Overview The Introduction to Pulp and Paper Technology Course delivers a broad overview of pulping and papermaking technology. The course offers an in-depth look at the entire pulping and papermaking process, from raw materials and wood preparation, to pulping and paper mill operations. Participants will discover: how the process affects paper & board quality and properties how one part of the mill affects the other parts of the mill Specific topics include secondary fibers, chemical recovery, stock preparation, and paper machine operations including sheet forming, pressing, drying, calendering, coating, and paper properties. The course is designed to deliver the most comprehensive overview available of today s pulping and papermaking technology. In addition, the course is unique by providing information on how one part of the mill influences another, and how the raw materials, pulping, and papermaking processes affect paper and board properties. One of TAPPI s most popular courses, the Introduction to Pulp and Paper Technology Course has kept up with modern practices and the needs of today s professionals, and remains one of TAPPI s best-rated courses. The last time this course was offered, 93% of the participants said the course quality was excellent or good, and 96% said it would be useful in their work. OUTCOMES Learning Outcomes After successfully completing the course, participants should be able to: identify several examples of how one part of the mill affects another, and how the process affects paper and board properties identify and label major processes and equipment involved in making pulp and paper; i.e., label a flow chart; list major operating variables define basic papermaking terms and major differences between fibers, pulp types, additives, grades of paper and board; and important product properties list several current environmental concerns relating to pulp and paper production (i.e. air and water, effluent issues in the pulp mill) The course gave me a better knowledge of the processes and terms they use in the paper mills. I use the resources from the course all the time to help my clients 2005 Introduction to Pulp and Paper Technology Course Attendee
