  • Patent number: 10985394
    Abstract: Bioelectrochemical systems (BES) having configurations with spiral wound structures and with frame-and-plate structures are provided. Systems may allow for production of an electrical current that is at least partially generated by anodophilic microorganisms connected directly or indirectly to an electrode. A spiral wound or frame-and-plate type bioelectrochemical system may include an anolyte influent point, a catholyte influent point, electrodes, ion selective membranes, mesh separators, gas collection devices, an exterior containment vessel, and one or more external electrical devices.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 14, 2017
    Date of Patent: April 20, 2021
    Assignee: The Regents of the University of Colorado
    Inventors: Zhiyong Ren, Casey Forrestal, Pei Xu
