Enter intrigued and focused. Leave energized with new connections and empowered to deploy new ideas. 

The RAPID DEPLOY Conference Series offers attendees an invite-only opportunity to engage in a mixture of invited talks and active workshop-style sessions culminating in a synthesis activity and an actionable report out. The fourth in the series will focus on advanced energetics reactor technologies. 

Join us August 9-10, in Morgantown, WV, as we explore: 

• Electrified reactors. Using electricity in more traditional ways as a source of energy for a chemical reaction, such as resistive heating of fixed bed catalytic reactors.  
• Microwave reactors. Microwave-assisted reaction chemistry extends beyond selective heating, potentially including field-specific effects resulting in enhanced conversion and selectivity. 
• Non Thermal Plasma reactors. Adding non-thermal plasma sources to a chemical reactor offer a potential solution to overcoming both kinetic and thermodynamic limitations on key chemical reactions.
• Ultrasound reactors. Combining ultrasound generators and chemical reactors shows great potential to enhance flow chemistry reactions and other value added applications.
