Potential of Electricity Generation and Wastewater Treatment of Organic Brewery Effluent Using Inoculated H-Type Microbial Fuel Cell

MFCs are bio-electrochemical devices that capable of transforming chemical energy stored in waste organic matter into direct electrical through catalytic activity microorganisms under anaerobic conditions. Bio-electrochemical systems, such as microbial fuel cells (MFCs), serve greener alternatives to conventional energy. In recent years, have drawn science community interest a method for bioelectricity recovery from wastewater while simultaneously treating the wastewater. Moreover; they gain competitive advantage over other water treatment technologies due their unique features huge benefits, less environmental impact, good operating stability, and high economic efficiency. Reports reveal subject much researchers, number papers on is increasing. The ever-growing demand green management renewable sources has enthused research efforts all world. This study, therefore, investigated effect process variables bio-electrical performance H-type fueled with brewery inoculated distillery plant waste. From experimental results, 1150mV maximum voltage output, 92.85%, 91.40%, 68.87%, 70.10% removal efficiencies COD, BOD, TN TP respectively were obtained at 35ºC, pH 7, 5 days. These results confirmed effectively treated would generate considerable amount bio-electricity. Results also revealed MFC provides an alternative insight effective can bio-electricity sustainable eco-friendly manner.
