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.

Mark Johnson, Director

Advanced Manufacturing Office

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

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

• Access to tools, models, and educational materials

• Networking and collaboration with academia, national labs, supply chain partners

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.

• Establish an infrastructure that enables access to process

intensification resources, tools, expertise, and facilities.

• Bring together private and public entities to co-invest in R&D,

commercialization, and deployment of innovative technologies.

• Establish a technical education and workforce development program.
