Energy balance and microbial fuel cells experimentation at wastewater treatment plant Milano-Nosedo

摘要

The wastewater treatment at the Milano-Nosedo plant is the last phase of a complex sewerage system that collects water from the central and eastern areas of the city of Milan dominated, in its southern part, by the Roggia Vettabbia irrigation network A scaling trial of Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) technology, from laboratory to real plant condition, is currently underway at this plant. This is a first step of the experimentation of MFCs in the industrial process.
