The 1984 Canadian Pulp and Paper Association sponsored process control
course precipitated a subsequent training effort which to date has ex
posed over 1000 engineers and technicians. This training aims to build
a practical foundation of modern process control concepts based on fu
ndamental control principles. Most engineers have forgotten and most t
echnicians were never exposed to these principles. Graduates of the tr
aining have helped to improve process control practice and the competi
tiveness of their mills.
