IGF::OT::IGF THE NASA SBIR PHASE I PROJECT ADDRESSED THE TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY OF AN INNOVATIVE TORREFACTION (MILD PYROLYSIS) PROCESSING SYSTEM THAT CAN BE USED TO STERILIZE FECES AND PRODUCE A STABLE, ODOR-FREE SOLID PRODUCT THAN CAN BE EASILY STORED OR RECYCLED, WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY RECOVERING MOISTURE AND PRODUCING SMALL AMOUNTS OF OTHER USEFUL PRODUCTS. THE PHASE I PROJECT DEMONSTRATED THAT MILD HEATING (200-250 C) WAS ADEQUATE FOR TORREFACTION OF A FECAL SIMULANT AND OTHER ANALOGS OF HUMAN SOLID WASTE (CANINE FECES). THE NET RESULT WAS A NEARLY UNDETECTABLE ODOR, COMPLETE RECOVERY OF MOISTURE, SOME ADDITIONAL WATER PRODUCTION, A MODEST REDUCTION OF THE DRY SOLID MASS AND THE PRODUCTION OF SMALL AMOUNTS OF GAS (MAINLY CO2) AND LIQUID (MAINLY WATER). THE AMOUNT OF SOLID VS GAS PLUS LIQUID PRODUCTS CAN BE CONTROLLED BY ADJUSTING THE TORREFACTION CONDITIONS (FINAL TEMPERATURE, HOLDING TIME). THE SOLID PRODUCT WAS A DRY MATERIAL THAT DID NOT SUPPORT MICROBIAL GROWTH AND WAS HYDROPHOBIC RELATIVE TO THE STARTING MATERIAL. IN THE CASE OF CANINE FECES, THE SOLID PRODUCT WAS A MECHANICALLY FRIABLE MATERIAL THAT COULD BE EASILY COMPACTED TO A SIGNIFICANTLY SMALLER VOLUME (~50%). IN ADDITION, THE TORREFACTION METHOD CAN BE APPLIED USING THE SAME OR SIMILAR CONDITIONS TO OTHER TYPES OF WET SOLID WASTES AND IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE UNIVERSAL WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (UWMS), NOW UNDER DEVELOPMENT BY NASA. THE TORREFACTION PROCESS COULD ALSO BE ACCOMPLISHED WITH MINIMAL CREW INTERACTIONS AND MODEST ENERGY REQUIREMENTS, WHICH COULD BE IMPROVED EVEN FURTHER IN AN OPTIMIZED AND INNOVATIVE PHASE II TORREFACTION PROCESSING UNIT (TPU), WHICH IS THE OBJECTIVE OF THE CURRENT PROPOSAL.

PYROLYSIS PROCESSING CAN BE USED IN NEAR TERM MISSIONS FOR VOLUME REDUCTION, WATER RECOVERY (DRYING), STABILIZATION, AND ENHANCED WATER AND OXYGEN RECOVERY THROUGH THERMOCHEMICAL REACTIONS. FOR LONGER TERM MISSIONS, THE ADDED BENEFITS INCLUDE PRODUCTION OF FUEL, MULTI-PURPOSE CARBON, AND REACTANTS FOR IN-SITU RESOURCE UTILIZATION (ISRU). THE OBJECTIVE OF THE PHASE I SBIR PROGRAM WAS TO DEMONSTRATE THE FEASIBILITY OF INTEGRATING PYROLYSIS, TAR CRACKING, AND OXIDATION STEPS INTO A COMPACT, EFFICIENT, SYSTEM FOR PROCESSING SPACECRAFT SOLID WASTES. THIS INTEGRATION, WHICH WAS BASED ON A MICROWAVE PYROLYSIS/CRACKING/OXIDATION UNIT, HAS RESULTED IN A SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION IN ENERGY CONSUMPTION PER GRAM (~70% WHEN COMPARED TO A CONVENTIONAL UNIT), AND AN OVERALL REDUCTION IN SYSTEM COMPLEXITY. THESE IMPROVEMENTS SHOULD LEAD TO A LOWER EQUIVALENT SYSTEM MASS (ESM) FOR A FULL SCALE SYSTEM. UNDER PHASE II, A PROTOTYPE MICROWAVE PYROLYSIS/TAR CRACKING/OXIDATION UNIT WILL BE DEVELOPED IN COLLABORATION WITH ETM ELECTROMATIC, INC., A LEADING MANUFACTURER OF MICROWAVE POWER SYSTEMS FOR COMMERCIAL, SPACE AND MILITARY MARKETS.

AUSCULTATION, OR LISTENING TO INTERNAL SOUNDS MADE BY THE BODY OF A PATIENT, IS AN IMPORTANT TOOL IN MEDICAL DIAGNOSTICS. HEART, LUNG, INTESTINE, AND CIRCULATORY FUNCTION CAN BE ASSESSED THROUGH CAREFUL LISTENING. THERE ARE NUMEROUS SITUATIONS, HOWEVER, WHERE THE FAINT SOUNDS COLLECTED USING AN ORDINARY STETHOSCOPE ARE OVERWHELMED BY AMBIENT NOISE. SUCH IS THE CASE IN SPACECRAFT, WHERE ROOM IS SCARCE AND NOISE GENERATING EQUIPMENT IS ALWAYS NEARBY. HERE, A STETHOSCOPE EMPLOYING LASER DOPPLER VIBROMETRY IS PROPOSED. THROUGH AN INNOVATIVE DESIGN EMPLOYING ADAPTIVE FILTERING, THE NEW-TECHNOLOGY STETHOSCOPE WILL PROVIDE IMMUNITY TO EXTERNAL NOISE WHILE PROVIDING CONVENTIONAL AUSCULTATION SOUNDS FOR EASY INTERPRETATION BY MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS. PHASE I AND PHASE II DEVELOPMENT WILL RESULT IN A SYSTEM THAT IS LIGHTWEIGHT, RUGGED, EFFICIENT, AND COMPACT, MAKING IT SUITABLE FOR USE IN SPACE. THE SYSTEM WILL PROVIDE ENHANCED MEDICAL CARE FOR ASTRONAUTS IN SPACE, ALLOWING AUSCULTATION SOUNDS TO BE TRANSMITTED BACK TO MISSION CONTROL MEDICAL PERSONNEL DESPITE THE HIGH LEVELS OF AMBIENT NOISE PRESENT IN THE SPACECRAFT.

A COMPACT, EFFICIENT PYROLYSIS/OXIDATION SYSTEM FOR SOLID WASTE RESOURCE RECOVERY IN SPACE BOTH PYROLYSIS AND OXIDATION STEPS HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED AS THE KEY SOLID WASTE PROCESSING STEP FOR A CONTROLLED ECOLOGICAL LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEM (CELSS). PYROLYSIS IS MORE AMENABLE TO HANDLING MIXED SOLID WASTE STREAMS IN A MICROGRAVITY ENVIRONMENT, BUT PRODUCES A MORE COMPLEX PRODUCT STREAM. OXIDATION (INCINERATION) PRODUCES A SIMPLER PRODUCT STREAM, BUT THE OXIDATION OF MIXED SOLIDS IS A COMPLEX UNIT OPERATION IN A MICROGRAVITY ENVIRONMENT. PYROLYSIS IS ENDOTHERMIC AND REQUIRES NO OXYGEN, WHILE OXIDATION IS EXOTHERMIC AND REQUIRES OXYGEN. A PREVIOUS NASA SBIR PHASE I AND PHASE II PROJECT HAS SUCCESSFULLY INTEGRATED PYROLYSIS OF THE SOLID WASTE AND OXIDATION OF THE FUEL GASES INTO A SINGLE, BATCH PROCESSING PROTOTYPE UNIT. THIS SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATION RESEARCH PHASE I PROJECT ADDRESSES THE FEASIBILITY OF INTEGRATING PYROLYSIS, TAR CRACKING, AND OXIDATION STEPS INTO A COMPACT, EFFICIENT SYSTEM FOR PROCESSING OF SPACECRAFT SOLID WASTES. THIS INTEGRATION WILL RESULT IN A REDUCTION IN ENERGY CONSUMPTION, AN OVERALL REDUCTION IN SYSTEM COMPLEXITY, AND A LOWER EQUIVALENT SYSTEM MASS (ESM). THE OBJECTIVE OF THE PHASE I STUDY IS TO DEMONSTRATE THE FEASIBILITY OF THIS INTEGRATION PROCESS USING BENCH SCALE EXPERIMENTS. THIS WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED IN THREE TASKS: 1) DESIGN AND CONSTRUCT INTEGRATED BENCH SCALE UNIT; 2) LABORATORY STUDIES USING SIMULATED SOLID WASTE SAMPLE; 3) EVALUATION OF LABORATORY RESULTS AND PRELIMINARY DESIGN OF PHASE II PROTOTYPE.
