Abstract
Reduction of organic and nutrient compounds. Membrane fouling control through the decrease of membrane fouling precursors and quorum sensing. Energy production in terms of hydrogen.
This paper shows the combination of electro membrane bioreactor (eMBR) with microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) in one hybrid system at the laboratory scale and under anaerobic conditions. The study aimed at evaluating the performance of eMBR-MEC in terms of water quality and energy production in the form of hydrogen.
