This document describes a student project to study microbial fuel cells (MFCs) for treating wastewater and generating electricity. The objectives are to construct an MFC setup, select microbes, optimize conditions, and analyze COD reduction and voltage generation from treating distillery wastewater. The team constructed a dual-chamber MFC with graphite electrodes. Testing on synthetic wastewater showed voltage increased over time and with higher COD loads. Distillery wastewater trials achieved up to 72% COD reduction and 250mV voltage after 12 days. While power generation was low, the study demonstrated MFC feasibility for wastewater treatment and identified areas for further optimization and scale-up.
