About this award
This is a $75,000 firm fixed price SBIR Phase III contract awarded by NASA to Advanced Fuel Research, Inc., a small business contractor, to test and assess a prototype torrefaction processing unit for human solid waste management. The contract expands upon a prior SBIR Phase II project that produced a limited prototype and testing. The Phase III effort will include a significantly expanded test program with at least 20 additional experiments using human, canine, and synthetic feces, as well as associated paper and plastic/rubber components. Additionally, the project will provide an expanded assessment of the fecal processing technology based on equivalent system mass calculations and an enhanced flight concept of operations to support a NASA trade study. The contract is designated for total small business set aside.
Description
The NASA phase II sbir project has produced a prototype torrefaction processing unit (TPU) for human solid waste management. This TPU has undergone limited testing (4 experiments) with synthetic (2), canine (1), and human feces (1), along with the associated paper and plastic/rubber components. The phase II-x project would be done in two main tasks: 1) a significantly expanded test program that would include a minimum of 20 additional tests of the full scale prototype, including 10-15 experiments with human feces, 2-4 experiments with canine feces and 1- 8 experiments with synthetic feces. Additionally, 3-6 of these experiments will be conducted with multipurpose bags developed by MMI. The exact distribution of samples, and the allocation among tasks 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, and 1E will be done according to a test plan that will be developed at the project kick-off meeting. 2) an expanded assessment of the fecal processing technology based on a equivalent system mass (ESM) calculations and an enhanced flight concept of operations in order to provide input data for a NASA trade study.
