Manned ECLSS CO2 Processors

Whether you need a spacesuit CO2 scrubber, cabin ECLSS scrubber, or CCUBA (rebreather) scrubber, we will design, manufacture, and test to customer performance spec. We invented and manufacture the only true hydrophobic CO2 absorber for underwater PLSS systems. This design has seen legendary use in the Cis-Lunar MK5 PLSS. Our proprietary canisters can be externally flooded, drained and will fully recover during a dive.

  

This allows the use of anhydrous lithium hydroxide (LiOH) for diving - a factor that will dramatically extend the range of the PLSS when diving in cold water. Our designs have extraordinarily low breathing resistance - a result of optimized computational fluid dynamics design. The same design can be used in spacesuit PLSS systems (currently with a 10 hour duration) and will prevent condensate from reducing absorbent range. For spacesuit and vehicle ECLSS systems we provide real-time carbon dioxide sensing (above, right) and can provide digital (smart) or analog signals to a customer design or we can turnkey design a CO2 processing and monitoring system for spacesuit and spacecraft cabin ECLSS (combine this with our oxygen control system and on-spec humidity-thermal control to provide a complete environmental control system for manned vehicles). Where power is not an issue (such as with solar power-capable space vehicles that are not constrained by primary battery power systems) we will design thermally re-cyclable CO2 absorbent systems for PLSS and ECLSS environmental processors.
