RAPID Process Intensification Credential Program
Scale up your manufacturing, processing and professional development
Introducing the only process intensification (PI) credential: RAPID's PI Credential
Process intensification (PI) and modular chemical process intensification (MCPI) technologies have the potential to transform the process industries by radically re-thinking conventional processes resulting in increased energy efficiency and productivity, and substantially decreasing timelines, equipment size to output ratio, waste production, and energy consumption.
RAPID leads the way in process intensification excellence in the U.S and has developed this credential program which provides the current and future workforce with the opportunity to demonstrate their competency in PI and MCPI concepts.
