The past years, various new MFC designs have evolved.
A first class of designs are designed purely for research goals and are as a consequence difficult to implement in practice. Nevertheless, they are highly suitable for research purposes.
Research type MFCs are easy to
construct and are used for short experiments. They are suited to
investigate specific microbial processes or new materials. Due
to their periodical batch operation, they are not appropriate
for long term operation. In most cases, the electrochemical
design is not optimized and does not allow high maximum power
generation.
