Enter intrigued and focused. Leave energized with new connections and empowered to deploy new ideas.
The RAPID DEPLOY Conference Series offers attendees an exclusive opportunity to engage in a mixture of invited talks and active workshop-style sessions culminating in a synthesis activity and an actionable report out. In partnership with the Design Institute for Physical Properties (DIPPR®), the sixth in the series will focus on the use of physical properties for process design, particularly to enable transforming specialty chemical processes from batch to continuous. The meeting will focus on how to approach the measurement and predictive modeling of physical properties as a basis to use modern process simulation tools to design continuous processes. Particular emphases will be placed on addressing reactor operations and exploring industrial experience with the goal of bringing awareness of the tools, techniques, and methods available and how they can bring you and your process added value.
Join us on March 23-24, 2024 in New Orleans as we explore:
- Measuring and estimating physical properties
- Use of physical properties and models for process design
- Application to reaction modeling and experimentation, and survey of novel intensified unit operations.
- Industrial experiences of developing continuous processes
- RAPID Roadmapping Workshop: Batch To Continuous Processing
What to Expect
DEPLOY
- Collaborate with experts in the field and process industry colleagues to discuss challenges and opportunities associated with digitalizing processes.
- Participate in a hands-on demonstrations.
- Share technologies and opportunities for collaboration through an attendee lightning round
- Connect and network with invited attendees throughout the event with ample networking time during brainstorming sessions, breaks, lunch, and the DEPLOY Reception (food and beverages included)
- Take action with the complimentary copy of the DEPLOY conference report-out.
RAPID Roadmapping Workshop: Batch To Continuous Processing
RAPID is entering a new phase of development with a focus on decarbonization through modular intensified processing (MCPI) and adjacent advanced manufacturing technologies. During the RAPIDxDIPPR DEPLOY Batch-to-Continuous roadmapping session, participants will be guided through a facilitated process to identify the key barriers that must be addressed to transform batch processes to continuous. Small groups will work together to identify and prioritize these barriers to bring forward the highest impact challenges; these will set the path for Research Development & Demonstration. This is a great opportunity to network with peers and colleagues and play a key role in moving the needle for batch-to-continuous processing.
