RAPID is a Manufacturing USA Institute working to transform the process industries by advancing modular chemical process intensification technology (MCPI).
RAPID members, leveraging approaches to MCPI — such as combining multiple process steps such as mixing, reaction, and separation into single more complex and intensified processes — work together on research and development projects with the goal of improving productivity and efficiency, cutting operating costs, and reducing waste.
