RAPID Session: Modular Waste Valorization
Friday, Dec. 7th, 1pm–3pm (open to all attendees of SPS '18)
RAPID will hold a problem-discovery brainstorming session at the end of the SPS '18 — Innovations in Transforming Waste to Value-Added Products conference to identify the potential role of MCPI in waste valorization. The workshop will convene scientists, engineers, and other stakeholders to identify the challenges in deploying modular decentralized equipment for waste valorization. During the event, RAPID CTO Jim Bielenberg will present an overview of the RAPID manufacturing institute and the institute’s roadmap, highlighting the gaps identified in deploying modular equipment in the chemical processing industries. This will be followed by small group breakouts. There will be plenty of time to ask questions about RAPID and to provide your perspective on where MCPI could have significant impact.
