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.
