Synopsis

Current wastewater treatment technologies are not sustainable simply due to their high operational costs and process inefficiency. Integrated Microbial Fuel Cells for Wastewater Treatment is intended for professionals who are searching for an innovative method to improve the efficiencies of wastewater treatment processes by exploiting the potential of Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs) technology.

The book is broadly divided into four sections. It begins with an overview of the "state of the art" bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) as well as the fundamentals of MFC technology and its potential to enhance wastewater treatment efficiencies and reduce electricity generation cost. In section two, discusses the integration, installation, and optimization of MFC into conventional wastewater treatment processes such as activated sludge process, lagoons, constructed wetlands, and membrane bioreactors. Section three outlines integrations of MFCs into other wastewater processes. The final section provides explorative studies of MFC integrated systems for large scale wastewater treatment and the challenges which are inherent in the upscaling process.

He leads major national and international projects (e.g., BE-CRC for hydrogen safety), holds editorial roles in top safety and environmental engineering journals, and frequently advises industry partners on offshore infrastructure resilience.

Asheesh Kumar Yadav is a Principal Scientist and Associate Professor at CSIR-Institute of Minerals and Materials Technology, Bhubaneswar, India. He completed his doctoral study at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi and postdoctoral studies at Princeton University, Princeton, NJ, USA. Currently, he is working as Marie Curie Fellow at Rey Juan Carlos, Madrid, Spain. He is the pioneer of constructed wetlands coupled microbial Electrochemical technology (CW-MET) for energy production, wastewater treatment, and other environmental applications. He received numerous awards like Marie Curie Fellowship; Indo-American Research Professorship (American Society of Microbiology); Four times winner of Erasmus Mundus Scholar Awards for teaching and research in universities in Germany, Poland, Sweden, Portugal; Winner of VLIR scholarships of Belgium; and Nuffic fellowship of the Netherlands. Besides this, He got an adjunct faculty position at the University of Tasmania, Australia. He is interested in developing low-cost energy generating and saving wastewater treatment systems with capabilities of resource recovery. Moreover, he is invested in developing circularity and sustainability in water and wastewater treatment systems.

Dr. Faisal Khan is a Mike O'Connor Chair II and the Head of Texas A&M University's Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering. He is also the Director of the Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center and the Ocean Energy Safety Institute. He was a Tier I Canada Research Chair in Offshore Safety and Risk Engineering. He has over three decades of research experience in process safety, risk modeling, and green energy system resilience. His works have greatly benefited the petrochemical and offshore industries. He has made a significant contribution to hydrogen systems and battery technologies, as well. With over 800 peer-reviewed publications and multiple books authored and edited, Dr. Khan is widely recognized as the global leader in safety and risk engineering. He is Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Engineering; Engineering Institution of Canada; AIChE and CSChE.

Dr. Vikram Garaniya completed a BE (Chemical) from India and MEngSci from the University of New South Wales, Sydney. He graduated with a PhD in Engineering from the University of Tasmania (UTAS) in 2010, where he has been a teaching/research-active academic based at the specialist institute, the Australian Maritime College (AMC). Currently, he is the Acting Director for the National Centre for Maritime Engineering and Hydrodynamics (NCMEH) and Associate Head of Research.
