The primary focus of this research effort is demonstrating feasibility of the underlying technology while developing our media for the filter in TCC unit or incorporating our media in RCA unit to remove trace levels of ammonia and formaldehyde from a space suit ventilation loop; whether through the use of ultra-high capacity single-use media, or easily regenerated multi-use media, the system is fully expected to be capable of protecting the crew in all environments for future space and interplanetary missions. Ammonia, formaldehyde and other VOCs pose a great risk to the health of astronauts and integrity of equipment aboard the International Space Station (ISS) and Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV), and such this technology could be of great value to broader NASA missions.
As a result of the exceptional product performance, low cost, and attractive color-change feature, we intend to continue developing our core technology in an effort to ultimately license the product and brand into a broad range of markets including HVAC, cleanroom air filters, automotive cabin air, and specialty gas-phase filtration.
