Objective
ATLANTIS is motivated by the fact that suitably 3-D engineered and functionalised porous structured reactors can bring important breakthroughs not only in the already established market for automotive emission control systems, but also on the emerging biotech market of protein antibodies and bio-polymers.
The S&T objectives are to produce the required knowledge base and component technologies and apply them for the manufacturing of:
- a highly efficient, compact, multifunctional, emission control system for removal of gaseous and particulate emissions from future Diesel engines;
- a hyper-compact, high yield-continuous mode integrated bioreactor/separator for the bio-production of polymers and of high value recombinant protein antibodies.
ATLANTIS radical innovations stem both from novel processes and novel products and include:
- hierarchical assembly/manufacturing for new porous materials, built from 0-D (powders), 1-D (fibers), 2-D (sheets) and 3-D (foams/honeycomb monoliths) building blocks, of diverse metallic and ceramic materials;
- functionalization with catalysts and biocompatible surface treatments/coatings, employing novel Aerosol Technologies for 3-D tailoring of porosity and surface characteristics.
The multidisciplinary and diverse application targets of ATLANTIS pulls together advanced R&D efforts in Europe, integrating different blocks of research activity. ATLANTIS will shorten the distance between R&D and market deployment in established as well as in niche ones.
The critical mass achieved within the Consortium, led by a strong industrial leadership, includes specialized research centres, complemented by four large key industry players and five high tech SMEs, to ensure that R&D activities have a clear market orientation, secured exploitation of results and contribute clearly towards the objective of the Lisbon European Council in March 2000 to make the EU 'the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world'.
