Water Recovery and Gas Processing
One of the key benefits of the TCPS system is its ability to recover water from the waste stream. The system uses a combination of filtration and condensation to recover up to 98% of the water from the waste. This water can then be reused for a variety of purposes, including life support systems and propulsion.
The system also processes the gas produced during the heating and sterilization process. The gas is collected and processed to remove any contaminants or byproducts. This process produces a clean gas that can be reused for a variety of purposes, including life support systems and propulsion.
