Energy efficient and sustainable aquaculture water treatment Using microbial fuel cells and membrane-supported biofilms
Major Goals and Objectives
- Investigate the feasibility of a new treatment process, based on microbial fuel cells and membrane-supported biofilms reactors for removing nitrogen and sulfide in simulated recirculating aquaculture systems wastewater.
- Determine the nitrogen and sulfide removal efficiencies, and levels of electric power production
- Test different reactor configurations under variable loading conditions
