The projects are being offered exclusively to RBI members for individual or consortium-based sponsorship.
“We believe the ability to sponsor these projects offers our member companies a strategic advantage and high member value—an opportunity to leverage the IPST Endowment to further your company’s research interests,” wrote Norman Marsolan in an e-mail to member contacts. “The projects were selected for sponsorship funding based in large part on your expressions of interest at various opportunities during the year.”

Two consortium projects proposed for FY 14 are under way; they are "Robust Membranes for Concentration of Black Liquor” (Sankar Nair, PhD, PI) and “Corrosion Control in Paper Machines Using Reduced Fresh Water,” (Preet Singh, PhD, PI). Member companies Domtar, International Paper, KapStone, MWV, and Verso are funding these projects.

For further information on any of these projects, please contact Dr. Marsolan at Norman@gatech.edu.
