Preet SinghThe Renewable Bioproducts Institute will inaugurate its cross-industry outreach program with a symposium on lignocellulosics on October 1-2 in Atlanta. Professors Carsten Sievers and Matt Realff will co-chair the event. “A cross-industry event on lignocellulosics seems the perfect way to launch the Renewable Bioproducts Institute,” commented Prof. Carsten Sievers. “We plan to build on the key points raised at the interdisciplinary colloquium Dr. Preet Singh led here last December, and bring in a cross-section of industries and Georgia Tech capabilities.” The symposium will showcase Georgia Tech as one of the leading engineering institutions in the U.S. and display its commitment to research on the production of materials and chemicals from renewable resources.
Corrosion Symposium
Dr. Preet Singh, who led the campus colloquium on lignocellulosics last December, will also host an industry symposium this fall, on corrosion. The event, titled “International Symposium on Corrosion in the Pulp and Paper Industry,” is scheduled for November 5-7. Patterned after the Black Liquor Recovery Boiler Advisory Committee (BLRBAC) and the International Chemical Recovery Committee (ICRC) meetings, the symposium will bring together experts in chemical recovery, bleaching, and paper machines to discuss emerging problems and solutions involving today’s materials and tomorrows technologies.
