Doug Sweet, of Doug Sweet and Associates, will present "Paper Machine Vacuum Systems 101." This free webinar will review some of the typical issues with the vacuum system including instrumentation and vacuum control, seal water systems, and cooling towers, flatboxes and uhle boxes, separators, and extraction pump and vacuum pump reliability.  Doug is an engineer with more than 35 years of experience, and his presentations have been one of the highlights of past TAPPI papermaking conferences.

Following Doug's presentation, a round table discussion with leading papermaking experts will be held. The distinguished panel includes: Gary Nyman, International Paper; John Neun, Albany International; and Dave Burton, Asten Johnson, all with more than 30 years of experience in the papermaking industry. This roundtable will be an open forum for any questions you have on papermaking  topics. These experts can offer you sound solutions to any challenges you may be facing.
