The report covers the investigation of high-pressure reverse osmosis (RO) pumps for space vehicle application. The vendor pump survey and pump evaluation tasks are described in this report. Four selected RO pumps were ordered and evaluated during a 30-day test under spacecraft wash water recovery system conditions. A description of the test stand and the data from the pump evaluation test are contained in this report. The test data include pump power requirements, efficiency and other design parameters. The test data were used to develop recommendations for a flight-type prototype RO pump and a design specification for a high-pressure RO pump for space vehicle application. Also included are rough order of magnitude (ROM) costs for the development of a flight type RO pump. (Modified author abstract)
