  • Patent number: 10753900
    Abstract: Improved sensor assemblies are provided. More particularly, the present disclosure provides microelectrode array (“MEA”) real-time in situ global sensing assemblies for enhancing efficiency and stability of wastewater treatment systems. In general, the present disclosure provides for a novel global sensing technology utilizing a microelectrode array (MEA) to solve various problems of monitoring wastewater treatment systems. The present disclosure provides for improved systems/methods for monitoring wastewater treatment systems, with the improved systems/methods obtaining a substantially complete global profile of multiple parameters simultaneously. More particularly, the present disclosure provides that by patterning multiple electrodes (e.g., mm-sized electrodes) on a film (e.g.

  • Publication number: 20100112380
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for producing electrical power and treating wastewater is provided. The apparatus and method oxidize bacteria and substrates naturally occurring in wastewater in a chamber, generating electrons which run from an anode to a cathode through an associated circuit. As a result of the oxidation reactions, the apparatus and method remove impurities from the wastewater and generate electrical power.
