PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a modular device that is optimized for preliminary water treatment and energy generation, and to provide a method for operating the same.SOLUTION: There is provided a method for optimizing a microbial population on an anode of a microbial fuel cell (MFC) for wastewater treatment. The method includes the steps of: (a) contacting the anode with a parental microbial population and wastewater; (b) operating the MFC at a relatively high resistance for a sufficient period of time so as to increase the biomass of the microbial population on the anode; (c) operating the MFC at a medium resistance for a sufficient period of time so as to optimize the metabolism of the microbial population of the anode; and (d) operating the MFC at a low resistance for a sufficient period of time so as to optimize microbial degradation of the wastewater.SELECTED DRAWING: None |
