MFC Efficiency


Overview

  • MFC efficiency calculation and feasibility study for better evaluation of the MFC.


Efficiency calculation


Feasibility study for MFC in sewage and waste treatment

To assess the usability of our MFC regarding potential applications, we considered a feasibility study and compared it to our results. It shows, that our currently achieved efficiencies have the potential for efficient energy production in real world applications.
