Moinee, A. Al., Sanzida, N., March 5, 2018, “Unification of ETP (Effluent Treatment Plant) & MFC (Microbial Fuel Cell): Sustainable Development, Environmental Safety, & Renewable Energy,” Sustainable Development for Human & Nature, 58th IEB (The Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh) Convention, Khulna, Bangladesh, pp. 15-21.
Abstract:
Environment, Energy, and Engineering can make the Earth Elegant together by dint of sustainable development. Sustainable development ensures the environmental safety to sustain the renewable energy. The world is on the verge of energy crisis, pollution, and environmental instability. Renewable energy source as alternative fuel is to be emerged and harnessed for the stability of climate and environment to deal with the descending level of existing sources. Production of electrical energy utilizing of microorganisms through MFC is one such renewable and sustainable technology that is considered to be one of the most efficient and carbon neutral energy sources. Unification of ETP (Effluent Treatment Plant) and MFC (Microbial Fuel Cell) can give a design with eminent efficacy. The unit can utilize the metabolism of the microorganisms in the collection tank of ETP by means of a designed MFC as an integrated system. Efficiency of the unit is being studied on the basis of electricity generation, percentage COD removal, and recovery-removal of heavy metals via treatment of waste water collected from the ETP of Pran Industrial Park (PIP), Narsingdi, Dhaka, Bangladesh. The continuous studies, experiments, and reviews has shown that the unification of ETP and MFC is amply promising to open the greener threshold for generating renewable energy with a view to gleaning sustainable development and environmental safety.
