Waste and wastewater clean-up using Microbial Fuel Cells

EPSRC Grant Number: EP-I004653/1

Project Aims

• Better understanding of the anode side.
• Enhancement of anode performance.
• Development of power-packs for low power applications.

Project Objectives

• To investigate whether optimally selected mixtures of species can utilise a wide variety of feedstock and/or a specific target substrate.
• To increase treatment efficiency and power generation.
• To reduce size of individual MFCs and develop stack systems consisting of multi-MFCs.

Expected Outcome or Outcome / Project Goal

• MFC scale-up and development of power-packs for practical applications.
