Editorial: TAPPI Journal goes Open Access in 2020, TAPPI Journal October 2019

ABSTRACT: Scientific publishing has changed significantly since the 1990s with the evoluation of the internet, which has largely migrated journals from subscription-based print publications to online content like eBooks, portable document formats (PDFI's), and web-based HTML files. Along with these changes in format has come a growing trend for online journal content to be either partially or fully "Open Access" (OA) so that more institutions and individuals can take full advantage of scholarly literature without a subscription of society membership status.

Nanocellulose in Japan: An industrial perspective, TAPPI Journal April 2019

ABSTRACT: With the maturing of Japan’s economy, domestic demand for paper and paperboard is more likely to level off in the long term. Japanese paper companies are accelerating overseas production, especially in the emerging Asian markets, while strengthening competitiveness of domestic mills and developing new products. In Japan, we have always focused on emerging technologies and driving innovation in the pulp and paper industry. As a business definition, innovation does not equal innovative technology. Innovative technology can become innovation only when it is commercialized and used in industry.

Large data set analysis to determine refiner plate total cost of ownership, TAPPI Journal June 2019

ABSTRACT: Efficient process data storage and its subsequent analysis are vital to the profitable operation of a paper mill. An evaluation of refiner plate performance was conducted for an integrated paper mill. Trials with two new plate patterns were compared with the incumbent pattern; the goal was to increase refiner plate life. Plate life increased with both new design patterns, and the mill selected one of the two new choices. However, addi-tional impacts to paper machine performance and mill maintenance costs were not considered in the selection deci-sion. A large data set analysis tool was used to identify unrealized savings of 1.5% with reduced fiber usage (basis weight) on the paper machine’s most prevalent grade. The large data analysis indicated that this unrealized benefit with the alternate plate design was not attainable with the chosen plate design.
