- This is a $904,875 firm fixed price SBIR Phase II contract awarded by NASA to Advanced Fuel Research, Inc. to develop a torrefaction processing system for sterilizing and stabilizing human solid waste. The project aims to demonstrate the technical feasibility of a mild pyrolysis process that can produce a dry, odor-free solid product from fecal matter and other human waste, while also recovering moisture and generating small amounts of other useful products. The contract is designated for...
- 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...
- This federal contract award, valued at $599,944.00, was issued by a U.S. government agency to Advanced Fuel Research, Inc., a small business, under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program. The contract is for the development of a hybrid/pyrolysis/incineration system for solid waste resource recovery. This system is intended to support NASA's exploration life support initiatives, as Advanced Fuel Research has previously delivered trace contaminant sorbents and a torrefaction...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $124,989.00 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract to Pioneer Astronautics, doing business as Pioneer Invention, for the development of an Advanced Organic Waste Gasifier (AOWG) technology. The AOWG is designed to convert organic wastes from space exploration outposts into clean water and gases, with the goal of minimizing the mass of vehicles during Mars transit and return missions. The contract work will...
- This contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Advanced Fuel Research, Inc., doing business as Advanced Fuel Research, a small business. The contract is for the delivery of advanced multipollutant trace contaminant sorbents for the Exploration Portable Life Support System. The contract has a potential value of $124,976.00 and is a Firm Fixed Price definitive contract under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program Phase...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program Phase I contract worth $123,809.00 to Sustainable Bioproducts LLC, a for-profit limited liability company, to develop an encapsulated biofilm-biomat reactor that can efficiently convert mission-relevant feedstocks, such as human waste, food waste, and plant materials, into usable products under zero-gravity conditions. The biofilm-biomat fermentation technology enables...
- This is a Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Faraday Technology, Inc. for the development of a technique to eliminate contaminants that foul the waste water treatment system on the International Space Station (ISS) and produce a more durable closed-loop process compatible with the existing Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS). The objective is to improve the lifetime and efficiency...
- This federal contract award is from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Advanced Fuel Research, Inc. (doing business as Advanced Fuel Research), a small business, for the development of structured, carbon-based trace contaminant sorbents for use in the space suit during extravehicular activities (EVAs). The $124,355.00 Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract aims to demonstrate the feasibility of using 3D printing to fabricate...
- Advanced Fuel Research, Inc., a small business based in East Hartford, Connecticut, was awarded a $948,570 firm fixed-price contract by NASA's Shared Services Center on September 3, 2021, to develop advanced multipollutant trace contaminant sorbents for the Exploration Portable Life Support System. This award represents a Phase II action under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program, a federal initiative designed to support small businesses in conducting innovative research and...
- This is a firm-fixed-price contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Umpqua Research Company, a small business, under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program Phase I. The contract is for the development of a "Graded Temperature Fecal Dryer-Densifier" and has a potential value of $124,349.00. The contract was awarded on August 19, 2019, with a completion date of February 18, 2020. Umpqua Research Company, doing...
This is a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Advanced Fuel Research, Inc. for the development of an innovative torrefaction (mild pyrolysis) processing approach to sterilize, stabilize, and recover useful materials from human fecal waste. The $124,976 firm fixed price contract aims to demonstrate the feasibility of a near full-scale (1/3) integrated waste collection and torrefaction unit for long-duration space missions. This work is intended to be compatible with and complementary to NASA's Universal Waste Management System and Heat Melt Compactor, which are currently under development. The torrefaction process can handle mixed or contaminated waste streams with minimal crew interaction and energy requirements.
