Pilus Energy Presents Poster at the 2009 Fuel Cell Seminar & Exposition
CINCINNATI, OH. – July 16, 2009 – Pilus Energy, a developer of a microbial fuel cell reactor that harnesses genetically enhanced bacteria and harvests the direct current (DC) electricity and hydrogen gas from their metabolism of organic and nitrous oxide compounds, will present a poster, 16-19 November 2009 at the 2009 Fuel Cell Seminar & Exposition in Palm Springs, CA at the convention center.
Founder & President, Jason E. Barkeloo and Dr. Shengchang Su will present a poster co-authored with Warunya Panmanee, PhD, Randall T. Irvin, PhD, and Daniel J. Hassett, PhD, entitled, "An Extensible Microbial Fuel Cell System."
The Poster Abstract
Presented is an extensible and scalable microbial fuel cell (MFC) energy generating platform having a biofilm on at least one electrode. The uses for the MFC, and systems utilizing the MFC with an ultra/super capacitor and/or a classical hydrogen fueled fuel cell are presented. The energy generating biofilm comprises bacteria that have one or more genetic modifications designed to increase the number of electrons transferred to the electrode. The MFC can be operated to generate water or hydrogen gas, and these by-products can be used in an advantageous manner.
About Pilus Energy
Pilus Energy is developing alternative cleantech energy solutions based upon bacterial metabolism in the consumption of waste molecules and the production of electricity and hydrogen gas. Pilus Energy intends to license a low cost microbial fuel cell reactor technology, and wholesale the consumables and accessories to the licensees. Later, Pilus Energy intends to drive revenues from carbon credits generated by the licensed and deployed reactors and collect and monetize the usage data collected by the reactors as an informatics company.
