Hydromars is starting a test campaign to study the response of our system when subjected to spacecraft wastewaters.
In order to tackle the severe limitations of state-of-the-art extraterrestrial water recycling systems, a thorough validation of the technology against feedwaters such as urine, humidity condensate, and hygiene water is essential.
The primary goal of this campaign is to finalize system specifications and limitations, while also exploring innovative pre- and post-treatment methods to enhance our core purification process. The campaign shall be conducted with the help of two test systems in parallel at our clean room facility to answer research questions related to membrane scaling and fouling, recovery rate maximization, pre-and post-treatment, optimal control algorithms, and component choice.
