Well we'll need some oxygen as well but I suppose we can improvise something to split water and just vent the hydrogen.

This is actually a regenerating CO2 scrubber like the ones on the space shuttle, where you never have to replace any consumables, and it has a compressor that is rated for 24/7 operation so yeah I don't see why it couldn't sustain some humans for a while. Though 0% humidity is pretty bad for humans but I guess we can add a humidifier.
