      • Water soluble polymers and their use to improve retention drainage and formation (RDF).
      • Micro-particle and other multi-component RDF systems.
      • Chemicals and strategies for deposit control - cationic polymers, de-tackifying agents, microbicides, etc.
      • Foam control agents.
      • Waste-water treatment.
      • What's new in process chemicals (including novel enzyme applications).
    • Process surveys and identifying the best opportunities for reducing the total cost of chemicals (process improvement).
