My name is Hong Liu.
I'm assistant professor at
Oregon State University.
I'm currently working on microbial fused cell
based technologies: trying to recover
energy from waste water.
The microbial fused cell technology
I'm working on is basically using bacteria
to harvest bactericide as a catalyst
to help to break down organic material
in waste water and generate energy from it.
I think we try to
recover energy from waste water because
water and energy are probably the most
important, basic fundamental resources
of modern civilization.
So it affects everybody, actually.
So, the current water infrastructure
consumes huge amounts of energy.
So each day we need huge amounts of energy to treat waste water.
I think we try to say how we can make
the waste water treatment process
more energy sustainable.
According to UNDP,
United Nations Development Programme, I think back to 2005,
95% of sewage in developing countries
discharge to water body without any treatment.
So I think if we can make the whole
waste water treating process much cheaper
we may have the developing countries
to, you know, make the, you know,
have more waste water treatment facilities.
And have them to have clean water
and have more energy to do the work.
