5. Antitrust Guidance from AIChE
• No AIChE member (“Member”) nor any participant in any AIChE Division, Forum, Local Section, Industry
Technology Alliance, Technical Entity, Committee or other entity (“Participant”) shall attempt to bring about any
anticompetitive or illegal understanding or agreement, of any kind, with regard to prices, terms or conditions of
sale, distribution, volume of production, sales territories or customer or suppliers.
• No Member or Participant in connection with AIChE activities shall discuss, communicate, or engage in any other
information exchange with regard to prices or pricing methods.
• No Member or Participant in connection with AIChE activities shall discuss, or exchange information about
restrictions on production or sales, or sales territories or customers or suppliers unless such action is strictly
necessary to respond to an emergency and narrowly limited in duration and scope to the emergency
circumstances, and every effort should be made to have counsel present.
• No Member or Participant in connection with AIChE activities shall participate in any discussion of costs, or any
exchange of cost information, unless counsel is present.

8. RAPID’s Industry-Led Vision
A dynamic network of partners who collectively build a
sustainable ecosystem that:
… researches, develops and broadly commercializes new
technology in modular chemical process intensification
… delivers dramatic reductions in energy, greenhouse gas, capital
and operating cost
… makes U.S. Manufacturing and our workforce more competitive.
RAPID’s Ecosystem
Industry leaders, researchers, educators,
engineers, operators & facilities

9. An “Industry-Centric” Value-Proposition:
• Access to new process intensification technology and tools with the potential for:
– Lower capital cost
– Lower operating cost
– Improved process efficiency
– Improved energy efficiency
– Reduced waste
– Reduced environmental footprint
• Roadmapping workshops with access to finished products
• Leveraged investment in R&D projects that directly address industry challenges

10. Our Mandate
• Lead a national effort to research, develop and demonstrate high-impact modular chemical
process intensification solutions for U.S. Manufacturing.
• Actively build RAPID membership through an inclusive and attractive value proposition.
“The goal for these
Institutes is to revitalize
American manufacturing
and support domestic
manufacturing
competitiveness.”
— U.S. DOE
• Leverage $70 million of federal funding with cost share from members.
• Operate the Institute to benefit a wide range of stakeholders.
