Investigation of different configurations of microbial fuel cells for the treatment of oilfield produced water

[Display omitted] •A simple MFC design has been investigated to improve oilfield produced water degradation process.•Degradation of hydrocarbons was substantially complete and rapid as with acetate in MFCs.•Power and Coulombic efficiency better than current literature were obtained, in spite of low...
