Microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a bioreactor utilizing bacteria as electrocatalysts to convert bioenergy from biomass into electrical energy. The aim of this research were to determine the effects of the electrode distance on the bacterial density and the electrical value generated by the MFC as well as to evaluate the ability of MFC in reducing the pollutant. Single chamber MFC system with various electrode distances including 2 cm, 4 cm, and 6 cm were assembled. The wastewater of fish pindang processing was used as the medium<br />for the MFC. The results showed that the distance had no effect on the biofilm density of the electrode and the reduction of the wastewater pollutant load. However, the distance affected the electrical value of the<br />MFC. Biofilm density on the MFC electrode after 120 hours was 0.65-6.46 CFU/ cm2. The highest voltage was obtained from the 6 cm electrode distance with the voltage 0.38±0.01 V. Positive correlation (R2 = 0.99)<br />between microbial density and electricity produced at the cathode was observed, but weak at the anoda (R2 = 0.47). The MFC system could decrease the BOD value up to 50.78% and COD up to 33.29%, however the TAN value was increased to 6 mg/L.

Abstract - The need of energy in Indonesia was increasing and encouraging to develope some efficient   renewable   technology   and   environmental   friendly   researches.   One   of   the alternative energy that can be used is Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC). Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) works by using microorganisms to degrade organic compounds that can generate electrical energy.   Several   studies   have   been   conducted   on   Single   Chamber   MFC.   In   this   study, conducted to determine the effect of wastewater treatment through Stack Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) on current producing. The system used carbon brush electrode, Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) as cation exchanger, tofu liquid waste as source of substrate, and bacterial isolated tofu liquid waste as degrading organic substrate, that has known in system's ability to generate electrical energy as well as reduce COD value. Optical Density (OD) value was measured to determine the metabolic activity of bacteria, with wavelength 570 nm. The research showed that Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) that lasted for 72 hours resulted potential of electrical current  0.96 mA at  Stack MFC and Blank 0,43 mA.  The acquisition of electric current Stack MFC was greater than Blank Single Chamber. In addition, it also decreased Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) value in the range of 28-38%. Keywords -  Chemical Oxygen Demand, Current, Microbial Fuel Cell , Stack MFC, Tofu liquid waste

Power Point

Power management systems (PMSs) are essential for the practical use of microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology, as they replace the unstable stacking of MFCs with step-up voltage conversion. Maximum-power extraction technology could improve the power output of MFCs; however, owing to the power consumption of the PMS operation, the maximum-power extraction point cannot deliver maximum power to the application load. This study proposes a practical power extraction for single MFCs, which reserves more electrical energy for an application load than conventional maximum power-point tracking (MPPT). When experimentally validated on a real MFC, the proposed method delivered higher output power during a longer PMS operation time than MPPT. The maximum power delivery enables more effective power conditioning of various micro-energy harvesting systems.

Energy trending lately shown the need of new possible renewable energy. This paper studies about the capability and capacity generating of electricity by using Bio-electricity-Microbial Fuel Cell (Bio-MFC). Bio-MFC is the device that converts chemical energy to electrical energy by using microbes that exist in the sewage water. The energy contained in organic matter can be converted into useful electrical power. MFC can be operated by microbes that transfer electrons from anode to cathode for generating electricity. There are two major goals in this study. The first goal is to determine the performance characteristics of MFCs in this application. Specifically we investigate the relationship between the percentages of organic matter in a sample results in higher electricity production of MFCs power by that sample. As a result, the sewage (wastewater) chosen in the second series experiment because the sewage (wastewater) also produced the highest percentage of organic matter which is around 10%. Due to these, the higher percentage of organic matter corresponds to higher electricity production. The second goal is to determine the condition under which MFC work most efficiently to generating electricity. After get the best result of the combination for the electrode, which is combination of zinc and copper (900mV),the third series of experiments was coducted, that show the independent variable was in the ambient temperature. The reasons of these observations will be explained throughout the paper. The study proved that the electricity production of MFC can be increased by selecting the right condition of sample type, temperature and type of electrode.

Pandanus Amaryllifolius

Plant microbial fuel cell (P-MFC) is an electrochemical reactor that converts organic compounds to electrical energy through the catalytic reaction from electrochemically active bacteria (EAB). However, there is no sign of an attempt in developing the functional model in predicting the energy conversion and utilization of P-MFC. In this study, an analytic model is proposed to show the whole production process of the organic compound to electrical energy generation. <em>Pandanus Amaryllifolius</em> plant was used as sources of photosynthate, where biomass product from rhizodeposition, acetate was produced, and soil bacteria as the microbial culture, and air as the input to the cathode chamber. The proposed analytical model is able to predict the output of the P-MFC using the parameters from the experiment. The generated data from the model was then compared with the monitored data from the <em>Pandanus Amaryllifolius </em>P-MFC. The results show the electrical power output has a high similarity pattern with the bacterial growth curve model and able to achieve the coulombic efficiency of 95.32%.
