− | As the FBA results showed that the co-culture and desalination have to be performed in separately, the flowsheet splits the operation into 2 steps with an aerobic chamber where the cells are removed by centrifugation after the culture and the lactate pumped into the anaerobic MDC chamber.<br> | + | As the FBA results showed that the co-culture and desalination have to be performed separately, the process has been split into 2 steps with an aerobic chamber for the co-culture and an anaerobic MDC chamber for electricity generation. After the co-culture, centrifugation and filtration are used to remove the cells from the outlet stream containing lactate which is then transferred to the anaerobic MDC.<br><br> |

− | From the CA, we found that the MDC will have to be scaled up to increase the surface area of the anode in order to desalinate enough water for irrigation. Through our research and communications with experts, we've propose scaling up by stacking multiple MDCs or using a tubular MDC configuration. Though, this will have to be investigated further by next year's UCL iGEM team. | + | From the CA, we found that the MDC will have to be scaled up to increase the surface area of the anode in order to desalinate enough water for irrigation.
