A thin material that is found by pressing fibers obtained from the pulp of natural sources like wood after drying them is called Paper.
Paper is very useful in various tasks like for writing and printing, along with which, it is used for cleaning, artwork and packaging and construction.
About the Paper Engineering
Paper Engineering is the branch of engineering that deals with study of raw materials used in paper products. It is the study of the thermal, chemical and biochemical processes that are involved in design and produce the paper.
For generating paper from the raw materials, the field of paper engineering takes several methods. Here are some of them:
- Mechanical Pulping
- Chemical Pulping
- Pulp Processing
- Finishing
Thus, we can say that a Paper-Pulp Engineer is a skilled person who is involved in the processes of manufacturing the paper, pulp and also other byproducts that can be generated from the pulp.
