Largest membraneless MFC reported to date (1,000 L, 80 air-cathode modules). Maximum volumetric power density well below lab-scale baselines, consistent with diffusion-limited cathode operation. Demonstrates the viability of stacking strategies and gives scale-dependent loss budgets that inform future reactor geometries.

Stretched 1000-L microbial fuel cell with 80 air-cathode modules in a single-chamber configuration. Treats brewery wastewater under continuous flow; reports COD removal, coulombic efficiency, and power-density trajectories over multi-month operation. Identifies scale-up bottlenecks: ohmic losses, oxygen mass transport at large cathode areas, and biofilm management at low energy-extraction densities.
