BioX Presents Poster at 2021 Korean Environmental Engineering Society Conference... "Sharing Green Hydrogen Research Achievements"

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunseok Yoo] BioX participated in a domestic academic conference to share research and development achievements related to green hydrogen production using waste resources.

BioX announced on the 8th that it attended the '2021 Korean Society of Environmental Engineers Domestic Academic Conference' hosted by the Korean Society of Environmental Engineers from the 3rd to the 5th and conducted a poster presentation.

This event, under the theme of 'Future Environmental Engineering Technologies Preparing for the Carbon Neutral Era,' was attended by experts from various environmental fields, including air environment, water environment, and resource recycling.

BioX conducted a poster presentation on 'Performance and Microbial Behavior Characteristics of a Bioelectrochemical Hydrogen Production System Utilizing Organic Waste Resources,' introducing BioX's unique technology for green hydrogen production.

The Microbial Electrolysis Cell (MEC) is a green energy production technology that produces hydrogen from organic waste. BioX conducted research to improve the decomposition efficiency of organic matter and hydrogen gas production efficiency by solving optimal material transfer and electrochemical issues based on the process configuration and control of MEC.

Using domestically isolated and acclimated concentrated culture microbial communities as mixed inoculum strains for MEC operation, BioX evaluated MEC performance on high-concentration organic combined substrates, including food waste wastewater. High-yield hydrogen productivity was reported through the adjustment of influent load and operating voltage. Additionally, the purity of hydrogen produced, regardless of reactor volume, was proven to be over 91%, attracting attention.

A company representative stated, “Participating in this academic conference provided an opportunity to introduce BioX’s technological capabilities and expand our network,” adding, “Based on the research results, we plan to create meaningful achievements such as rapid commercialization.”
