TECHNICAL ABSTRACT (Limit 2000 characters, approximately 200 words)
TDA Research Inc.(TDA) in collaboration with University of Puerto Rico ? Mayaguez (UPRM is proposing to develop a highly efficient CO2 removal system based on UPRM proprietary strontium exchanged silico-alumino-phosphate (Sr-SAPO-34) for closed loop space craft cabin air re-vitalization during deep space missions.

POTENTIAL NASA COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS (Limit 1500 characters, approximately 150 words)
The objective of the Phase I STTR research is to scale-up the sorbent production, evaluate the scaled-up preparations in bench-scale, carry out long term multiple cycle tests in a fixed bed adsorption system and complete a detailed system design and engineering analysis to show the merits of the technology.

POTENTIAL NON-NASA COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS (Limit 1500 characters, approximately 150 words)
This system will also find use in earth for removing CO2 from confined spaces such as large buildings, aircrafts, and submarines to reduce the energy use of next generation life support and air conditioning systems. The sorbent developed is also applicable to a wide variety of industrial processes, which require CO2 removal (i.e., CO2 capture from flue gas, biogas, natural gas, etc.) and sorbent enhanced water-gas-shift reaction in hydrogen manufacturing.

TECHNOLOGY TAXONOMY MAPPING (NASA's technology taxonomy has been developed by the SBIR-STTR program to disseminate awareness of proposed and awarded R/R&D in the agency. It is a listing of over 100 technologies, sorted into broad categories, of interest to NASA.)
