Co-sponsored by TAPPI and NC State University, the Hands-On Pulp and Paper Basics Workshop will be held Monday, October 9 – Friday, October 13 at NC State University in Raleigh, NC. This unique hands-on introductory level workshop will give you the knowledge and confidence to master the basic concepts in pulp and paper manufacturing. Participants will learn a broad overview of Pulping, Bleaching, Chemical Recovery, Recycling, Papermaking and Converting.
The course will consist of presentations each morning followed by hands-on laboratory and pilot-plant exercises every afternoon. Participants will receive a set of course notes, lab manuals and have access to the lecture files via the Internet.
If you're looking to increase your understanding by participating in hands-on lab experiments, find out how different processes affect paper properties, run a pilot-plant paper machine and have close interaction with pulp and paper professors, then this workshop is made for you!
