3.00 Credits
3 Credits Students will be required to participate in a cooperative learning experience during their second year. They will be assigned to a business site for cooperative training totaling 135 hours during their fourth semester in school. Students will be required to develop measurable objectives and keep a daily journal and workbook. In order to qualify for experiential education, students must have completed all courses as applied to their major or three semesters, i.e., students must be second-year, second-semester students. No exceptions will be made.

3.00 Credits
3 Credits This course serves as an introduction to the study of pulp and paper technology. It will focus on providing the student with an overview of the entire pulp and paper manufacturing process. The course defines and discusses the properties of wood and wood fibers, wood and chip handling, the various pulping methods utilized (including cooking equipment, processing of pulps, and chemical recovery), paper machine stock preparation, paper manufacture, properties and testing of pulp and paper, process control, and pulp and paper industry environmental considerations. A special section on quality assurance is included.

3.00 Credits
3 Credits This course covers basic papermaking technology. Topics include preparation of stock for papermaking (including secondary fiber), additives to papermaking stock, wet-end and dry-end paper machine operations, paper surface treatments, manufacturing of specific paper and board grades, and paper testing. Papermaking processes are discussed in the context of basic chemical and mechanical principles including steam properties, thermodynamics, hydraulics, and paper machine wet-end chemistry. Pre/Co-requisite: PPT111.

3.00 Credits
3 Credits This course begins with an overview of the basic pulping technologies, including mechanical, sulfite, kraft, and semichemical pulping. Because of the increased use of recycled fiber as a fiber source, secondary fiber technology is also reviewed. Kraft pulping is the predominant industry pulping process, so major emphasis is given to this technology. The supporting chemical and mechanical principles for the pulping processes considered are detailed. These include the chemistry of kraft and sulfite liquors, the chemistry of black liquor recovery, recovery boiler operation, steam properties in black liquor recovery systems, recausticizing, calcination, bleaching sequences, bleaching chemicals, and overall pulp mill recovery systems as associated with environmental concerns. The properties and testing of pulps will be discussed. Prerequisites: PPT111, CHE112, CHE114.

3.00 Credits
3 Credits This course introduces various concepts and practices used in maintenance in the pulp and paper industry. Maintenance organization, work-order systems, planning, scheduling, and work measurement and standards are reviewed in detail. Special emphasis is given to preventive maintenance, including the role of various predictive maintenance methods. Maintenance materials control and the use of computerized maintenance-management information systems are discussed. The student is introduced to new maintenance concepts such as Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) and Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM). Practical maintenance trouble-shooting techniques are discussed. Specific maintenance safety considerations such as lockout/tagout and confined space entry are detailed. Pre/Co-requisite: PPT111.
-
3.00 Credits
3 Credits This course introduces the student to the elements of occupational safety with special emphasis on identification of safety hazards and unsafe work practices as identified by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. The importance of personal protective equipment is stressed. Methods to reduce the risk of personal injury are explained and discussed. The role of safety training in creating the proper attitude toward safety is indicated. Special emphasis is placed on hazardous materials used in the pulp and paper manufacturing processes, boiler and recovery boiler operations, as well as paper machine and related finishing operations. Safe work practice for maintenance personnel is outlined. Pre/Co-requisite: PPT111.

3.00 Credits
3 Credits This course begins with a thorough review of general chemistry principles. Following this, the chemistry associated with both pulping and papermaking is examined in depth. Kraft and sulfite pulping processes are reviewed, and as each unit operation is examined, appropriate analytical calculations are demon-strated. Polymer and carbohydrate chemistry is discussed prior to studying wet-end paper machine technology. Attention is then turned to concepts and applications of colloid chemistry to papermaking processes. The specific technology related to sheet formation, internal sizing, wet/dry strength resins, and dyestuffs is explored. Other issues studied include foam control, pitch control, and first-pass retention performance on a paper machine. Prerequisites: PPT111, PPT113, PPT115, CHE112.
-
3.00 Credits
3 Credits This course focuses on the four major areas in automatic control systems: primary measurements, signal transmission, automatic controllers, and the final control elements. How these areas work together as systems is shown by describing typical installations as applied in various pulp and papermaking processes. This course also provides a basic introduction to the application of computers in control systems utilized in the paper industry. Prerequisites: PPT111, PPT113, PPT115.
-
3.00 Credits
3 Credits In this course, the importance of quality in the manufacture of pulp and paper is stressed, and the various ways quality needs are manifested are explored including quality of raw materials; quality associated with product requirement, not only to the customer, but within the manufacturing facility; quality and its relationship to process optimization; and quality requirements for equipment and people performance. The student will have the opportunity to perform basic pulp and paper tests and have modern quality philosophies detailed together with tools for systems analysis and basic statistical methods. Prerequisite: PPT111.
