Who is MTI?
MTI is the leading international non-profit
professional association serving the materials
technology needs of the Chemical Processing
Industry. Formed in 1977 - 16 member
companies Currently 56 member companies
4
Who is MTI?
MTI provides leadership and vision for the
current and future materials technology needs of
the CPI. Our networking, research projects,
and technical forums create value for members
companies while contributing to important vision
documents such as the 2003 Technology Roadmap.
5
Why was MTI Organized?

• Chemical companies were working independently on
• similar process equipment materials problems.
• Existing associations were not set up for
  multi-sponsor projects and had no funding
  available.
• Member companies quickly identify needs and
  cooperate to sponsor projects of mutual interest.

6
Who are our members?
Our membership includes leading manufacturers and
suppliers from throughout the world represented
by materials, chemical and mechanical engineers
as well as chemists, researchers and designers.
7
Who are our members?

MTI provides leadership in materials technology
to improve
1. Reliability2. Profitability3. Safety
13
1. Reliability
Equipment reliability is one of the three central
themes of MTI activities. Projects, forum
discussions and MTI products frequently focus on
mechanical integrity and equipment reliability
issues. Improving process efficiencies while
maintaining continued operation provides valuable
benefits for member companies, including higher
yields, reduced maintenance costs, less downtime
and lower turn-around costs.
14
2. Profitability
MTI membership increases profitability in several
ways. In addition to the reduced downtime
associated with equipment reliability, member
company profitability is further improved by
- Quicker assessment of industry need -
Reduced RD costs through leveraged knowledge
- Co-operative funding of research projects -
Cutting edge information on technology and
solutions - Bottom line cost reductions -
Reduced in-house expertise required
15
2. Profitability cont.
Most MTI members consider membership the
equivalent of 1-3 engineers and/or researchers
on staff.
16
3. Safety
Safety of employees, the environment and
neighboring communities is a paramount concern
within MTI. Member representatives work to
ensure the safety of member company employees not
only during equipment operation but also during
inspection and maintenance. Activities also
focus on operating chemical processes safely in
order to continue as responsible members of our
communities and the world.
