To power the suit a 500 Watt fuel cell array is used. This requires the use of 290 grams of hydrogen along with 2.335 kg of oxygen each day. 10 days uses a small fraction of one tank system described above. And produces 2.62 liters of water per day. Enough to sustain the person within the long-duration suit. Since every 4.83 kg of oxygen uses 1.00 kg of hydrogen in the rocket system, using 8.00 kg of oxygen for every 1.00 kg of oxygen in this way, leaves an additional 656 grams of hydrogen un-reacted. This hydrogen is used in a sabatier reactor to absorb 3.6 kg of CO2 per day producing an additional 2.95 liters of water per day and 1.3 kg of methane per day. The methane gas is liquified and evaporated from the system along with the waste water to provide temperature control. 1.0 kg of oxygen is also breathed by the astronaut. This leaves another 207 grams of spare hydrogen. This absorbs an additional 1.1kg of CO2 producing an additional liter of water and an additional 410 grams of methane each day. The user produces 1.4 kg of CO2 per day Hydrogen Hydrogen Oxygen Carbon Dioxide Sabatier Reactor Fuel Cell Waste Water Evaporator Methane Evaporator Water

This shows how the boil-off from the cryogenic liquids powering a five stage moon-ship are used to provide electrical power, clean air and water for a crew member.
