A microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a device that converts bio-chemical energy into electrical energy during substrate oxidation with the aid of microorganisms (bacteria). The energy contained in waste water is converted to the electrical power by the action of bacteria. The principle of MFC is to transfer electrons from the microorganisms to electron acceptor at a higher electrochemical potential. An experimental study was performed to find the most efficient industrial waste water that can produce highest and stable electrical power by the MFC and to determine the removal rate of pollutant from the waste water by the MFC. Two MFC, namely one PEM MFC and two PEM FMC, has been fabricated for this study. The three different waste water samples used were Dyeing Waste Water-1 (DWW-1), Dairy Industry Waste Water (DIWW) and Dyeing Waste Water-2 (DWW-2). The highest rate of voltage generation is achieved when the MFC was operated with DWW-1 (1.06 V), DIWW (0.95 V) and DWW-2(0.644 V), respectively. Based on the graph pattern the DWW-1 provided the best record in terms of electrical energy generation.

This study aims to optimize the electrical energy generation generated by the Electromagnetic Regenerative Shock Absorber (ERSA) type of alnico bar magnet on the rear suspension Multi Purpose Vehicle. This study uses the Taguchi Experiment method by varying the number of copper windings (1000, 1500, 2000 turns), wire diameter (0.2 mm, 0.3 mm, 0.4 mm) and large air gap (2 mm, 3 mm, 4 mm). The results showed the highest electrical voltage generation of 1.68V in 2000 wire coil variants, 0.4 mm wire diameter and 4 mm air gap. while the lowest voltage generated electricity is 0.9V on 1000 wire coil variants, 0,2 mm diameter diameter and 2 mm air gap. That is, an increase in the voltage generated by using the Taguchi Experiment method from previous studies which produced a voltage of 121-131mV.

ABSTRACTMicrobial Fuel Cells are devices which convert chemical energy into electrical energy through catalytic reactions by microorganisms. In this study, the potential of electricity in MFC will be analyzed by using samples of sea mud, lake mud, land mud, and river mud. While the method used in this study is one series connected vessel, two vessels connected series with mud-water, two mud-mud series vessels, and the stack series method. The highest electrical conductivity produced by river mud reaches 3.63 mS/cm, while the lowest is lake mud with a conductivity value of 0.35 mS/cm. The highest electric power density produced by river mud by the two mud-mud vessel method is 46.766 mW/m2, while the lowest electrical power density in lake mud is 18.040 mW/m2. The highest electrical power is produced by river mud through a single vessel series system with a maximum power of 7.26 mW, while the lowest power is found in marine mud with a system of two mud-water vessels which is equal to 0.30 mW. The pattern of increase in voltage or current produced by the battery sludge is on average until the 7th day, then a decrease occurs until the last day of testing. The greatest potential for electrical energy is obtained by river mud using a single vessel series system with a maximum voltage of 5.38 V and lasting up to 14 days.Keyword : electric power density, microbial fuel cells, sludge battery

This paper summarises different methods used for the Electrical power generation using microorganisms in Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC), where power generation is done in a microbial environment. Microorganisms are used as catalysts to degrade the supplied source effectively. This bioelectricity production is carried out in an enhanced way in a pollution-free environment. This paper addresses different aspects of electricity generation with the help of microorganisms. Various types of Microbial fuel cells have been described based on their constructional details. One of the different power generation methods is wastewater treatment. Also, hydrogen is generated in this environment, which can be used in fuel cells. Different factors and catalysts used to produce bioelectricity are identified and analyzed. Finally, the power produced in those methods had been compared, and the best method is cited.

Reliability And Availability

Generally, a maintenance process of a machine tool is oriented to maintain its reliability and availability in a relation of its productivity. This productivity will make a direct impact on the economic aspect of its plant. Ecomaintenance is a maintenance concept which sees maintenance in a different perspective. There is another effect on a machine that is maintained well on the environmental aspect beside its benefit of technology and economic aspects. If a machine is maintained with a proper maintenance, it will have a performance suitable with its age design condition. A machine with a good maintenance generally has a minimum rate of pollutant and waste which is possible emerging from the machining process. Then, if it uses for a machining process, it will produce a good quality product on its surface roughness and dimension accuracy. The electrical energy consumption of the machine also can be saved. It means that the GHG which usually emerges from the process of electrical energy generation in the power plant can be minimized, also the coal as fuel can be saved. The result of experiment has proven that the machine with bad maintenance will consume the electrical power higher in range 10%-60.81% than the machine with a good maintenance.

Voltage Generation

Microbial fuel cell technology is a recent approach which consist renewable and sustainable technology for electricity generation. Great attentions have been paid to microbial fuel cells (MFCs). Since, it recovers energy from renewable materials that can be difficult to dispose, such as organic wastes, waste water etc. and utilize variety of biodegradable substrates as fuel. Through which, microorganisms actively catabolize substrate and generate electricity. Besides many advantages, it still faces some limitations such as low power and current density. In the present research waste water was physically, biologically and chemically tested. We found that waste water has less amount of toxicity. Thus, it was assumed as low strength waste water and used for the MFC setup for bioelectric generation.Initially, the setup was run three times in a small scale. Simultaneously voltage and current was measured at different time intervals. It was observed that in first run, the voltage and current fluctuation data was not significant but voltage generation was varied from 140.8-182.5 mV in final run, correspondingly current fluctuated from 51-352 μA and power varied from 7180.8-66439.1 nW. However, we got highest power density of 0.0215-0.042 mW when the setup was moved in higher scale.Int J Appl Sci Biotechnol, Vol 4(3): 281-287

Heat Energy Recovery

The prime objective of this paper is to present the details of a thermoelectric waste heat energy recovery system for automobiles, more specifically, the surface heat available in the silencer. The key is to directly convert the surface heat energy from automotive waste heat to electrical energy using a thermoelectric generator, which is then regulated by a DC–DC Cuk converter to charge a battery using maximum power point tracking. Hence, the electrical power stored in the battery can be maximized. Also the other face of the TEG will remain cold. Hence the skin burn out accidents can be avoided. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed system can work well under different working conditions, and is promising for automotive industry.
