This report compares parametric data for the following six waste management subsystems,as considered for use on the Space Station: (1) dry incineration, (2) wet oxidation, (3) supercritical water oxidation, (4) vapor compression distillation, (5) thermoelectric integrated membrane evaporation system, and (6) vapor phase catalytic ammonia removal. The parameters selected for comparison are on-orbit weight and volume, resupply and return to Earth logistics, power consumption, and heat rejection.Trades studies are performed on subsystem parameters derived from the most recent literature. The Boeing Engineering Trade Study, (BETS), an environmental control and life support system (ECLSS) trade study computer program developed by Boeing Aerospace Company, is used to properly size the subsystems under study. The six waste treatment subsystems modeled in this program are sized to process the wastes for a 90-day Space Station mission with a crew of eight persons and an emergency supply period of 28 days. The resulting subsystem parameters are compared not only on an individual subsystem level but also as part of an integrated ECLSS.
