Laboratory scale MFC



Our team
has developed a laboratory scale prototype capable of supplying up to 2W/m2 of projected electrode surface with a maximal current density of 10A/m2. This device is constituted by 10 independent MFCs and electricity is generated from the digestion of acetate by marine micro-organisms.

We intend to extend the technolo
gy to small units of wastewater treatment that would ensure their own power while increasing speed treatment. These performances are among the best obtained by the many teams who undertake now in that direction, particularly the USA with considerable resources (Universities of Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Washington…) or Australia with the support of industrial companies (University of Queensland and Forster industry).
