The Advanced Papermaking Initiative (API) conducted its annual 3-day introductory course designed to give an insightful understanding of the chemistry and technology in pulp and paper processing, how it influences decision-making and energy reduction, and the future of green engineering.
Our course is held in spring each year, and our professors volunteer to share their expertise and their time to present the theory and laboratory classes for the benefit of safety officers, engineers, fresh graduates and policy makers in the industry who wish to advance their knowledge in this field.
