AI summary
82% confidenceThis study investigates a combined anaerobic-aerobic bioelectrochemical system (BES) for treating ethanol stillage, integrating an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor with microbial fuel cell (MFC) and microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) modes. Operating under five configurations (no BES, MFC, and MEC at 0.6, 0.8, 1.0 V), the system achieved up to 94.1% COD removal and 90.91% ammonium removal at 1.0 V, while improving biogas composition from 57% to 74% methane and achieving complete sulfate removal in MEC modes.
