A LABORATORY MODEL OF AN INTEGRATED WATER RECOVERY SYSTEM

Abstract

This study was conducted to construct and test a laboratory model of an integrated water recovery system. The system was designed to convert to potable water 4.2 liters of urine plus 5.0 liters of wash water daily, under weightless conditions. It consists of a vapor compression distillation still, a post-filtration system, waste water and potable water storage tanks, a hot and cold water dispensing unit, and a graphic display control panel. This system produces potable water at the approximate design capacity under weightless conditions.
