We honor Sergio F. Galeano, Ph. D. who was a member of TAPPI from 1967-2017 and extend our sympathy and condolences to his family, colleagues and friends. Sergio Francisco Galeano passed away peacefully on August 18, 2019.

Sergio was a prestigious figure throughout his astounding 50 year career in the pulp and paper industry. He graduated from the University of Florida in 1966 with a Ph.D. in chemical engineering, spent 24 years working for the pulp and paper division of Owens-Illinois, another 23 years at Georgia Pacific in Atlanta, Georgia and then continued to consult past his 80th birthday.

Galeano has numerous commendable global achievements outside of his working career. He is the credited inventor of seven (7) U.S. patents for pollution reduction processes. He published over 50 industry articles and contributed to numerous academic and industry reference books.

Sergio was a champion for the industry. He represented the United States (and led multinational teams) for the Kyoto Protocol to establish international pollution control standards in the pulp and paper industry. Due to his venerable achievements, Sergio F. Galeano, Ph. D. was awarded TAPPI’s Technical Award and Roy F. Weston Prize. 

Sergio F. Galeano, Ph. D. was an international leader for the pulp and paper industry and he will be greatly missed.
