Performance of a Full Scale MABR (CoMANDR 2.0) for Pre-treatment of a Habitation Waste Stream Prior to Desalination

Recycling waste water is a critical and crucial step to support sustainable long term habitation in space. Water is one of the largest contributors to the cost of space travel and the associated life support systems. In closed loop life support systems, membrane aerated biological reactors (MABRs) through biological reactions can reduce the dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and ammonia (NH
