This PFI: AIR Technology Translation project focuses on translating microbial electrochemical technology into an efficient wastewater treatment and energy recovery system for food and beverage industry. The translated technology has the following unique features: high pollution removal rate, small foot-print, and high power density, that provides exemplary performance and cost savings, when compared to the leading competing anaerobic digestion in this market space. The project accomplishes this goal by determining the key design and operational parameters through the evaluation of microbial electrochemical cells with real waste streams, resulting in a fully functioning prototype reactor stack. The partnership engages Waste2Watergy to provide guidance in practical wastewater treatment and other aspects such as scale-up and commercialization, as they pertain to the potential to translate the technology along a path that may result in a competitive commercial reality. The potential economic impact is expected to be a low-cost sustainable wastewater treatment and energy recovery technology in the next 5 to 10 years, which will contribute to the U.S. competitiveness in renewable energy generation and wastewater treatment. The societal impact, long term, will be providing energy from a renewable source while benefiting human health worldwide.

该PFI：AIR技术转化项目专注于将微生物电化学技术转化为食品和饮料行业的高效废水处理和能源回收系统。 翻译技术具有以下独特的功能：高污染去除率，小占地面积和高功率密度，与该市场领域的领先竞争厌氧消化相比，提供了示范性的性能和成本节约。 该项目通过评估具有真实的废物流的微生物电化学电池来确定关键的设计和操作参数，从而实现这一目标，从而产生一个功能齐全的原型反应堆。 这一伙伴关系使W2Watergy在实际废水处理和其他方面提供指导，如扩大规模和商业化，因为它们涉及到将技术沿着一条可能导致竞争性商业现实的道路转化的潜力。 潜在的经济影响预计将是未来5至10年的低成本可持续废水处理和能源回收技术，这将有助于美国在可再生能源发电和废水处理方面的竞争力。 长期的社会影响将是提供可再生能源，同时造福全球人类健康。
