Use advice for data set
When utilizing data from this study, consider its laboratory-scale context and the exclusion of maintenance and inoculum cultivation in the assessment. The findings should be applied cautiously outside of laboratory conditions, with considerations to scale-up processes which may require more consumables, materials, and energy input. Researchers must also validate the applicability of MET process in in-situ conditions and assess the system's robustness over a longer timeframe and variable environmental conditions. It is advisable to investigate the environmental impact comprehensively including the use phase behavior and end-of-life scenarios when scaling up.

General comment
Microbial electrochemical technologies (MET) are a bioelectrochemical system that uses microbial catalytic (metabolic) activity to convert the chemical energy of organic compounds into electrical energy. The doublechambered MET is a type of MET with an anode and cathode separated by a proton exchange membrane. Electrons and protons are produced in the anode chamber when microorganisms metabolize chemicals (the substrate) through oxidation reactions. The ion-selective permeable membrane (in this case, the soil itself) allows the protons generated by micro bial oxidation to pass through into the cathode chamber. Meanwhile, the microorganisms' released electrons are gathered by the anode and flow through an external circuit into the cathode, where they are absorbed and reduced by chemical species with high positive redox potentials, such as oxygen, ferricyanide, and other oxidizing chemical agents.

Technical purpose
The double-chambered MET described is primarily used for laboratory-scale research, focusing on the remediation of soil contaminated with total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH). This MET process is specifically designed for the bioelectrochemical treatment of TPH polluted soil, showing potential for application in environmental engineering, particularly soil remediation. Its use in analytical or pilot studies can provide insights into the feasibility of microbial electrochemical technologies for degrading harmful environmental contaminants, particularly hydrocarbons in soil.
