Kinerja Rangkaian Seri pada Sistem Microbial Fuel Cell sebagai Penghasil Biolistrik dari Limbah Cair Perikanan

Abstract

Electricity is generally sourced from fossil energy that is natural resources and can nott be renewed. The use of non-renewable energy make us to find a new alternative energy. One of technologi which can make a new energy resource is Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC). MFC is a system which uses the bacterium to oxidize inorganic and organic matters. The technology can apply on wastewater, for example the wastewater of fisheries. The purpose of this research is to identify electrical results from performance which use against series circuits on the fisheries wastewater with MFC system. Electrical potential results during 120 hours observation are 0,115 V was for two vessels, 0,259 V was for three vessels and 0,534 V was for four vessels which all of vessels arranged into series circuits. The results test of fisheries wastewater show reduced in COD, BOD, TAN and total nitrogen, while MLSS and MLVSS increased in five days observations
