Abstract:
Bio-electrochemical system for power generation getting attention due to utilization of waste material. Based onthat study was made to convert sugar industry waste water for bio-electricity generation using double chamber microbial fuel cell. Different organic loadin form of substrate concentration andparametric effect were tested to optimize the best condition for electricity generation. From 100g/l to 300g/l with step size 100g/l, for aeration rate from 100-250ml/min with step size 50ml/min, andfor as pHfrom 4.5 to 6.5 with step size 0.5pH. Themaximum power generation were observed at pH 6, aeration rate 200ml/min and organic load 200g/l about 820mA. Regarding above results that found favourablecondition on environment as well as waste reduction.
