A Hundred Years of Corrosion in the Pulp & Paper Industry, 2017PEERS

Through the decades the pulp and paper industry greatly expanded production capacity to meet increasing demands.  Correspondingly, the cost of corrosion damage soared.  The most serious corrosion control challenges were researched and met by university/governmental researchers, and by task groups within the TAPPI Engineering Division Corrosion & Materials Engineering Committee.  Today, thanks to material and process advances, mills encounter less corrosion than in the past.  This is an overview paper giving a historical look, dating back many decades, at how corrosion problems have been managed in the pulp & paper industry.  Yet, corrosion keeps on going, and today mills appear less able to manage corrosion problems for which known solutions are available.   This paper also addresses the significant yet under-rated task of optimizing corrosion control management in the present and into the future.  Discussion is provided on best practices needed to mitigate new and ongoing corrosion problems.
