How about prepacked granules then?
Something like this maybe:
Intersurgical Complete Respiratory Systems. News
Or the RGUFM, didn't the Japanese Fieno have that? I have also seen drawings of Russian scrubbers for UW use with prefabricated scrubbers.
Not that I know of any rebreather that is for sale today that uses prepacked scrubbers.
One could probably make a safety case for prepacked granules and meet EN61508.
Challenges would be:
1. Packing consistency, after the unit has been shaken on a RIB for a couple of hours to check for tunnelling.
2. Flooding. This would be a "Highly Likely" scenario to be considered in the safety case.
