Abstract
This study investigated the potential electricity generated by a dual chamber MFC using a mixture of palm oil mill effluent and wet palm oil sludge. The goals of this research are to develop the MFC by varying the electrode operational system, such as varying the electrode type, to investigate the influence of the circuit on the voltage, current, and power, and to determine the effect of various essential factors on the performance of the MFC, such as electrode materials, TSS, COD, pH, and operating parameters, such as WPOS as additive and operational time. The rapid growth of the industrial sector has resulted in an increase in energy demand. It is a modern necessity to provide enough electricity at a reasonable cost and in an environmentally friendly manner. MFC technology, which can achieve conversion efficiencies of up to 50%, is a newer bio-electrochemical system that has fewer environmental impacts than traditional wastewater treatment methods. POME and WPOS, both of which have the potential to generate electricity, have been chosen as MFC substrates. Both samples were obtained from Kilang Sawit Lepar Hilir 3 and were kept in a -4 °C cold room. POME and wet palm oil sludge were investigated for their ability to generate electricity in an MFC. The power generated in this study was calculated using Ohm's Law. The effect of the operating parameters was studied, which were operating time and dosage of WPOS. As a result, the maximum current achieved was 0.48 mA, and the maximum power achieved was 5.07 x 10-6 W. With 4 mg/L of dosage added, power generation was achieved. This study shows that the parameters can have an impact on the performance of MFC. The high concentration of TSS may cause power generation in MFC to be disrupted. Even though the MFC has a low power output, copper electrodes can still be used to generate electricity.
