Mathematical modeling of biohydrogen production in microbial electrolysis cell reactor is discussed. This study explains the mathematical model for the production of hydrogen from a wastewater batch reactor, and it contains a system of non-linear equations. The non-linear differential equation of this model is solved by the Homotopy perturbation method. The approximate analytical expression of this model, concentration of substrate, anodophilic microorganisms, acetoclastic microorganism, hydrogenotrophic microorganisms, and Oxidized mediator are obtained. The effect of various values of the parameters on the reactions is discussed. The analytical solutions are also compared with simulation results and satisfactory the agreement is noted.
