Abstract
Key findings
- Multi-anode plug flow microbial fuel cells show improved power density and reduced internal resistance compared to single-anode designs.
- Scalability of the MFC is achieved through optimized anode-to-cathode spacing and increased anode surface area.
- Pilot-scale MFCs demonstrate potential for large-scale applications, with power generation costs comparable to traditional energy sources.
