In the 1980's, USBI introduced automated waterjet coatings removal into NASA's Space Shuttle program by activating robot cells to remove thermal protection coatings from solid rocket booster components. ...In the 1990's, USBI has applied this technology to coatings removal from jet engine components. Using this environmentally compatible, pollution prevention technology USBI has demonstrated the removal of ceramic coatings from vanes; magnesium zirconate coatings from combustion chambers and burner cans; plasma coatings from stator rings, knife edge seals, and Up segments; plasma and rubber coatings from high pressure compressor cases; hardface coatings from inner vane supports; tin bismuth shuttles removed from blades; boron nitrite coatings from forged disks; and aluminum oxide coatings from blades. ...Using this environmentally compatible, pollution prevention technology USBI has demonstrated the removal of ceramic coatings from vanes; magnesium zirconate coatings from combustion chambers and burner cans; plasma coatings from stator rings, knife edge seals, and Up segments; plasma and rubber coatings from high pressure compressor cases; hardface coatings from inner vane supports; tin bismuth shuttles removed from blades; boron nitrite coatings from forged disks; and aluminum oxide coatings from blades.

720863
Surfactants (surface active agents) in certain concentrations and combinations are known to have a harmful effect on filter/separators. ...They affect the basic physicochemical parameters associated with coalescence and the removal of solid particulate from hydrocarbon fuels. Tests conducted on military filter/separators indicate that JP-4 and JP-5 jet fuel can be decontaminated properly; however, problems exist in the decontamination of water from motor gasoline (MoGas) and No. 2 diesel fuel.

Regenerative CO2 sorbents are applicable to many space systems air revitalization applications for removal of CO2. Sorbents may be chemically non-specific as regards reversible adsorption-desorption, chemicals other than CO2 can be regeneratively removed from spacecraft air. ...These other chemicals, present in trace amounts, may also interfere with the primary CO2 removal function. TGA test procedures were developed to determine adsorption-desorption behavior of trace contaminants on a regenerative solid amine sorbent: Hamilton Standard, material - C (HS-C). ...Seven trace contaminants were tested; the TGA test procedures: Evaluated the TGA method for studying sorbent materials in air revitalization systems Determined the adsorption/desorption characteristics of the HS-C to CO2 Detailed the adsorption/desorption effects of trace contaminants on CO2 removal The tests showed trace contaminants to be in one of three classes: Regeneratively adsorbed and desorbed Inert, no effect Poison - interferes with CO2 removal.
