The Essential Guide to Aqueous Coating of Paper and Board. £130 (Member)
This book is a fully updated and revised edition of "The Operators Guide to Aqueous Coating" first published in ten separate booklets. An updated index is now available as a pdf document to use with the book. Click here to download.
Now available as a single hardback book of 562 pages with 384 figures it is a must for the bookshelf of operators and management alike. The book again has ten sections and leads the reader through the sequential process of coating paper and board identifying why paper is coated at all, the importance of the base sheet, the type of materials involved and how they are applied and finished. A completely new section deals with customer satisfaction by looking at the various printing methods, the problems that occur and how good control of the process can minimise those problems. Some knowledge of basic science is necessary to fully understand the coating process and the book therefore starts with an introduction to basic science to assist the reader on his/her way. Edited by Trevor Dean the book is based upon contributions from members of the Paper Industry Technical Association (PITA) Coating Working Group in the United Kingdom. Written very much with the mill operator in mind it has an easy to read format and each section is fully indexed. It will provide excellent supporting knowledge to people working in all areas of the paper industry and its allied trades.

PAPER MACHINE DESIGN AND OPERATION -Gunnar Gavelin. £30
Papermaking is a complex activity, which makes use of many techniques and sciences. Pieces of paper machinery are constantly becoming obsolete and being replaced by designs meeting more stringent requirements or taking advantage of new technology and materials. It would be preposterous to attempt an all encompassing picture of this fluid situation. This book limits itself to areas where the author has been active at some time in his career or to developments, which have been interesting or controversial enough to be described and discussed at conferences or in the recent trade literature. What may be new here is an effort to compare designs by different manufacturers to help the reader appreciate the current state of the technology. In some cases, the evolution from early papermaking to the present stage has been followed in order to explain why some things have happened and certain directions have been taken. So much of what we heed today is based on studies, experiences and discoveries that are almost inaccessible to younger generations. An historical view on papermaking is enjoyable and can also help us prepare for the future.
PAPER SCIENCE AND PAPER MANUFACTURE - Dr. John Peel . £37.50
Several good modern textbooks and multi volume comprehensive reference books on pulp and paper manufacture are available, as well as many excellent books on special topics of paper technology. So why this one? Paper science now encompasses a wide area of applied physics and chemistry. The task of combining a thorough scientific exposition with enough descriptive matter to show its relevance to the manufacturing processes would be a daunting task for more than one author and of doubtful economic viability. On the other hand, the author had long sensed the need for a compact book containing the core scientific explanations of which professionals associated with the paper industry should be aware. He had also long felt the need for a single source of quantitative information on properties, processes, effects etc. to obviate the often time consuming search for "typical values". This book is not too long for an industrial newcomer to read completely, particularly because much detailed information can be bypassed in tables and figures. At the same time, the book should provide an established specialist with a valuable reference source, explaining basic features of certain technologies, which he or she is only occasionally in touch. Therefore, technologists and engineers in the paper industry and in the supplier industries will find this a useful book to have at hand, whether in production, development or sales.
PAPER AND BOARD MANUFACTURE. £7.50
A general account of its history, processes and applications. A good basic book for newcomers to the Paper Industry.
PRACTICAL PROCESS CONTROL - Tony Seal. £30
The purpose of this book is to introduce process control to those engineers and technicians who are unfamiliar with process control techniques, and who have varying needs to understand how to apply controls to process. It is also intended to assist those engineers who have been involved with process control in the past, and are not so familiar with the type and range of control equipment available today. The aim is to keep the information general, applicable to most processes requiring varying degrees of control, to identify what specific information is required by suppliers, and to identify the most suitable equipment for the application in hand. Additionally a degree of troubleshooting is covered, as well as system design, installation, commissioning and running plant tuning. In many sections there are guidelines on how to install process control equipment, especially measurement devices. To help overcome many of the problems generated by poor installations a few examples of how not to install are included.
INTERNATIONAL PAPER TRADE - Tom Bolton. £95The International Paper Trade is a broad title for this book, but it does far more than discuss paper import and export. It discusses the whole spectrum of the pulp and paper industry. It is the intention of the book to give its readers an international overview of the paper trade. There is much factual information, presented as a comprehensive series of graphs and histograms. In fact, there are over a hundred figures to assist the comprehension of factors describing such a diverse industry. The book falls into three major sections: the fundamentals of the paper business; drivers of change and their effect; and the changing nature of the paper business. The book is generally designed to be of value and to appeal to the busy reader in the industry and its allied trades, who needs a good understanding of the paper trade. It is also aimed at those wanting a quick, in depth study of the trade, because they are engaged in specific, important, but short term projects about the industry such as bankers, financiers, insurers and lawyers.
HANDBOOK OF TERMINOLOGY SECOND EDITION - Gary Smook . £50
The typical person who goes to work within the producing sector of the pulp and paper industry or has dealings with the industry, whether in a technical capacity or other role, is immediately confronted by seemingly arcane terminology. Without reference to a suitable dictionary or glossary, the deciphering of the new lexicon represents a considerable impediment to precise and efficient communication. The few obtainable "pulp and paper dictionaries" are limited in scope and tend to concentrate on paper grade definitions. These books are helpful to paper sales people, but they do not adequately serve the needs of operations-oriented engineers and other mill personnel such as technicians, operators, accountants, statisticians etc. Nor do they serve the needs of consultants or suppliers who deal with the industry. This completely new Handbook of Pulp and Paper Terminology is the most comprehensive collection of technical and operational terms ever assembled with respect to pulping, papermaking and related operations.
HANDBOOK FOR PULP AND PAPER TECHNOLOGISTS THIRD EDITION - Gary Smook . £35
A single volume that covers the entire technology of pulp and paper manufacture cannot be more than a detailed overview. This text does not purport to cover any aspect in depth, but is intended to provide a basic foundation on which the reader can build a more detailed knowledge. The amount of material relating to the pulp and paper industry currently being published is enormous. Readers of this book are encouraged to become familiar with the more easily available industry publications, and to delve more deeply into those areas of current concern and interest. The specific references cited in the text and listed at the end of each chapter were carefully selected to provide a broader context. They either provide a review and consolidation of current knowledge, or they document recent breakthroughs in new technology, application of knowledge, or process control. Many published articles are concerned with highly technical studies of comparatively narrow scope and limited interest; these publications are helpful to specialists, but are not suitable references to this book. Of necessity, this textbook is concerned primarily with the pulp and paper technology of North America. Non-wood raw materials are considered only briefly, although these are important in Asian countries. Emphasis is placed on those products that are most important to the North American economy.
