Objective
Polymer membranes are used today for many industrial and municipal applications to separate solids such as activated sludge from fluids like waste water. Apart from membranes for very special applications all standard membranes for basic applications are imported from outside Europe like the United States, Canada and Japan. The membranes exhibit properties that are not suitable for many applications clog up easily and are unreliable are expensive to maintain as they need frequent cleaning material has a fixed structure cannot be customised easily to meet the needs of different applications.
Manufacturing processes are based on expensive continuous methods licenses to manufacture are not available to European SMEs. The LASER-MEM project will use a different method of manufacture to overcome all the disadvantages of inherent in existing products. Laser technology will be developed to enable membranes to be created from low cost raw material, using a process that can be implemented by SMEs.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
