This project will develop a novel microbial fuel cell (MFC) retrofit which can be introduced to an existing**waste water treatment plant and evaluate its performance in terms of organic removal and electricity**generation. In MFC, bacteria facilitate direct conversion of organic matter into to electricity. One of our**partners, AECOM is a Global Engineering firm that works in the waste water treatment sector and has many**clients with high strength wastewaters which are ideal for treatment with MFC technology. This study will**demonstrate the effectiveness of retrofitting an existing anaerobic treatment system treating organic rich waste**water to their potential clients. The results will also be useful in the design of new facilities for clients that do**not have existing treatment systems. Normally, waste water treatment is highly energy intensive which**increases treatment costs, resulting in a high economic burden for small scale industries. Our second industrial**partner, Tantalus Vineyards is eager to see if the addition of MFC retrofit to their current anaerobic treatment**system will increase treatment efficiency and produce electricity. Considering the key role of the wine industry**in Canada's economy in terms of business, tax and export revenue, adapting and proving sustainable solutions**for treating large volume of organic rich wastewater in an environment friendly way will be highly significant.**The demonstration of an effective retrofit to an existing system will also enhance the tools available in**Canada's wastewater treatment industry allowing more efficient waste treatment for similar industries.

该项目将开发一种新型的微生物燃料电池（MFC）改造，可用于现有的废水处理厂，并评估其在有机物去除和发电方面的性能。在MFC中，细菌促进有机物质直接转化为电能。AECOM是我们的合作伙伴之一，是一家全球性的工程公司，从事废水处理行业，拥有许多 ** 客户，他们的高浓度废水非常适合采用MFC技术进行处理。这项研究将证明改造现有的厌氧处理系统处理有机丰富的废水的有效性，他们的潜在客户。研究结果也将有助于为没有现有处理系统的客户设计新设施。通常，废水处理是高度能源密集型的，这增加了处理成本，导致小型工业的经济负担很高。我们的第二个工业合作伙伴，坦塔罗斯葡萄园渴望看到，如果添加MFC改造到他们目前的厌氧处理系统 ** 将提高处理效率和发电。考虑到葡萄酒行业 ** 在加拿大经济中的商业、税收和出口收入方面的关键作用，以环境友好的方式调整和证明可持续的解决方案 ** 来处理大量富含有机物的废水将非常重要。对现有系统进行有效改造的示范也将增强 ** 加拿大废水处理行业的可用工具，从而为类似行业提供更有效的废物处理。
