1092 SMALL FLOW WASTEWATER TREATMENT TECHNOLOGY FOR DOMESTIC AND SPECIAL APPLICATIONS

A joint NASA and NSF life support system utilizing some

of the water recovery, waste treatment, plant growth, and energy

efficiency technologies is to be installed at the US research sta-

tion at the South Pole. This will provide a real world opportu-

nity to use the planned technologies on a realistic scale.^78

Possible terrestrial applications of spacecraft environmental systems

ECLS systems Possible earthbound uses

Water reclamation Submarines, arid area operations, supply of filtered and sterile water for medical, experimental

uses. Cleaning industrial effluent.

Oxygen generation Submarines, medical use in oxygen enriched atmosphere, hyperbaric chambers, under water

habitats and deep undergroundwork locations.

CO 2 removal Submarines, rescue and scuba equipment, under water habitats, hyperbaric chambers. Cleaning

industrial emmissions. Revitalising atmosphere in deep underground work locations.

Trace contaminant removal Submarines, under water habitats, hyperbaric chambers.

Temperature, humidity control Passive systems developed for the control of the space station temperature gain and loss from and

to space itself may have some terrestrial applications. Active systems used in controlling

temperature in locations where there are localised sources of heat may be useful for cooling

dense electronics, in satellites, possibly in aircraft, and perhaps in advanced super computers.
