- Summary:
- This report describes ground testing of a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) water treatment device for contingency recovery of potable liquid from ersatz human urine to support spaceflight testing. The Forward Osmosis Bag (FOB) is a portable, passive water treatment device utilizing osmotic potential to move water across a layered, ultra-filtration membrane to remove pathogens and reject chemical contaminants. The FOB is capable of rejecting 90% of the salts, 85% of the Total Oxidizable Carbon (TOC), 95% of the Total Nitrogen (TN), and 93% of Urea-Nitrogen (BUN) in the ersatz urine while completely removing a mixed bacterial population of >108 cells per milliliter
