Papers
Performance of a pilot-scale continuous flow microbial electrolysis cell fed winery wastewater
Roland D. Cusick,Bill Bryan,Denny S. Parker,Matthew D. Merrill,Maha Mehanna,Patrick D. Kiely,Guangli Liu,Bruce E. Logan +7 more
TL;DR: Results show that inoculation and enrichment procedures are critical to the initial success of larger-scale systems and better methods will be needed to isolate hydrogen gas produced at the cathode.

Energy Capture from Thermolytic Solutions in Microbial Reverse-Electrodialysis Cells
TL;DR: Reverse electrodialysis ion-exchange membrane stacks in microbial reverse-electrodialsysis cells are used to efficiently capture salinity-gradient energy from ammonium bicarbonate salt solutions to offset the energy used in conventional wastewater treatment systems.

Anode microbial communities produced by changing from microbial fuel cell to microbial electrolysis cell operation using two different wastewaters.
Patrick D. Kiely,Roland D. Cusick,Douglas F. Call,Priscilla A. Selembo,John M. Regan,Bruce E. Logan +5 more
TL;DR: Results show changes in Geobacter species in response to the MEC environment and that higher species diversity is not correlated with current.
286
A monetary comparison of energy recovered from microbial fuel cells and microbial electrolysis cells fed winery or domestic wastewaters
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the energy recovery and organic removal from wastewater with microbial fuel and electrolysis cells (MFCs) and showed that MFCs are more effective with wastewater than MECs, but that hydrogen production from wastewater fed MEC can be cost effective.

Phosphate recovery as struvite within a single chamber microbial electrolysis cell
Roland D. Cusick,Bruce E. Logan +1 more
TL;DR: Results show that MESCs may be useful both as a method for hydrogen gas and struvite production and as an energy efficient method based on bioelectrochemically driven Struvite crystallization at the cathode of a single chamber microbial electrolysis struVite-precipitation cell.
