dc.descriptionThe proceedings for the 2020 International Conference on Environmental Systems were published from July 31, 2020. The technical papers were not presented in person due to the inability to hold the event as scheduled in Lisbon, Portugal because of the COVID-19 global pandemic.en_US
dc.description.abstractThe Heat Melt Compactor (HMC) reduces volume, heat sterilizes, stabilizes, and manages gas and water effluent of the International Space Station (ISS) trash. Processing the trash at high temperatures produces volatile gas compounds that need to be treated before venting to cabin and/or the Vacuum Exhaust System (VES) in the ISS. The release of gases may not meet the Spacecraft Maximum Allowable Concentrations (SMAC) requirement, if vented directly into cabin, and/or gases are incompatible for venting to the VES. In order to assess the HMC gas release and venting parameters, effluent gas analysis is conducted to determine contaminant load. This paper will analyze different collection and analytical methods of the effluent gas, and report corresponding data, such that these results can be used for process design and effluent management.
