MICROBIAL FUEL CELL (MFC) DESIGN FOR PRODUCTION OF ELECTRIC BIO FROM PALM OIL INDUSTRY WASTE

Abstract

Microbial Fuel Cell is the one of renewable technology which can produseed electric energy from waste and other organic matter. MFC reactor have two part wich called anode and cattode chamber that bonded with cattion exchange membrane. Electric energy in MFC was produced by biochemistry reaction in organic matter like palm industrial waste. One of organic matter that pontential in Indonesia is palm industry waste. The aim in this research is to know the potential electric energy in MFC reactor with palm industry waste. The conclusion in this research is MFC with palm industry waste can produced electric energy higher than MFC with 0,5 M glucose solution.
