  • BIOREFINERY METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ISOLATED ENVIRONMENTS
    Publication number: 20210188679
    Abstract: A Biorefinery System (BIOSYS) that effectively treats all human activity-derived waste (black water, grey water, and food waste streams) using biological systems and that produces as process by-products: recovered potable water, liberated free oxygen, edible protein cake (with and without lipids), soil amendments, and machinery lube oils. Additionally, the system captures and chemically binds carbon dioxide into microbial cells and associated by-products, thus producing recovered usable returned cabin air.
    Type: Application
    Filed: February 11, 2021
    Publication date: June 24, 2021
    Inventors: Mark E. Zappi, Daniel Gang, Emmanuel Revellame, Andrei Chistoserdov, Rafael Hernandez, Rakesh Bajpai, Wayne Sharp, Dhan Fortela
