R&D project proposals are sought that address scientific knowledge and technology gaps in the areas of process intensification (PI) and modular process technology and that advance the following institutional goals:

• More than 20% Increase in energy efficiency in a process intensification technology
• Doubling of energy productivity through a process intensification technology
• Intensified process modules with 10x reduction in capital cost, 20% improvement in energy efficiency, and 20% lower emissions/waste related to commercial state of the art
• Approaches to reduce manufacturing costs of process intensified modules by 20% with each doubling of cumulative module production
• Tool to reduce cost of deploying modular chemical process intensification by 50%
