The Rational Design of a Financially Viable Microbial Electrolysis Cell for Domestic Wastewater Treatment

Microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) are yet to achieve commercial viability. Organic removal rates (ORR) and capital costs dictate an MEC’s financial competitiveness against activated sludge treatments. We used numerical methods to investigate the impact of acetate concentration and the distance bet...
