Abstract

Hydrogen gas (h2)produced by microorganism (biohydrogen) is acknowledged to be a clean and renewable energy resource for the future because its production does not require a large amount of energy and no COx, NOx and S0x emission is produced. Besides, the oxidation process of biohydrogen produce water and high energy (122kJ/g)without waste products, unlike fossil fuel. The aim of this research is to investigate the effect of dilutionrate tp biohydrogen production in continous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) system. The biohydrogen that was produced was directly inserted into a fuel cell to generate electricity. The substrate used in this research was cane molasses. The mutated bacteria used was Enterobacter aerogenes ADH41 that was a mutant bacteria having a inhibited metabolic pathway for acid production. Facultative anaerobe fermentation was conducted into stirred tank reactor using continuous system at 37c of temperature and 40rpm of agitation speed, dilution rate of (D) 0,15;0,3; 045; 0,60(h1).Biohydrogen produced was assesed after inserting it into a fuel cell to generate electricity and measuring voltages produced. The result showed that the highest H2 production was achieved at continuous system resulted in 0,30h1 of optimum dilution rate. The maximum H2 volume of 9,761 H2/l sugar, the yield of 1,84 H2/mol sugar, and the flow rate of 114,66 ml H2/minute were obtained. Furthermore, colony cont of 9,81 log cfu/ml, PH of 5,73, maximum electrical current of 0,38 A, electrical power of 2.20 watt, and electrical voltage of 5,75 volt after given resistance using LED of 25 ohm were also reached.
