INTERACTIVE WEB CONFERENCE
Microbial Fuel Cells
Thursday, July 29, 2010:
3:00 – 4:30pm Eastern Time
Webinar to cover:
Bioelectrochemical systems: The next step in resource recovery from wastewater is direct production of electricity (microbial fuel cells) and products (microbial electrolysis cells) in bioelectrochemical systems.
Microbial fuel cells (MFC) are an alternative method of producing energy where bacteria are used to simultaneously treat wastewater and generate electricity. Variations on this theme include microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) which can generate hydrogen and /or chemicals such as hydrogen peroxide and sodium hydroxide from waste water.
This webinar will demystify the topic, and include presentations from companies that are currently going to market and deploying these solutions.
The webinar will be of interest to venture capital investors, water technology companies, regulators and water technology end-users who are keen to track innovation in this emerging area.
