Harnessing water hyacinth for biogas and bioslurry generation: experimental insights on biomass characterization and crop yield enhancement by Tewodros Mulu, Bilhate Chala, Yezbie Kassa, Tayachew Nega, Marelign Adugna, Mohamed Gedefaw, Teferi Alem, Kiflie Tesfamariam, Taddesse Adgo, Beatriz Waldman, Bernhard Freyer, Dessie Tibebe

“…In the batch studies, several portions of water hyacinth, such as complete fresh biomass leaf stem and root, were evaluated to identify the most effective components for biogas and bioslurry generation.The semi-continuous trials used two stainless steel digesters, each with a capacity of 650 L, to produce biogas and bioslurry.The anaerobic digestion process required semi-continuous feeding of substrate and other materials, as well as regular monitoring of gas flow rate, temperature, total solid, volatile solid, and pH levels.The generated biogas and bioslurry were thoroughly characterised.The results reveal that the whole fresh biomass has substantial potential for biogas and bioslurry generation. …”
