[Stoves] water hyacyth

[Anand Karve]

Dear Michael,
water hyacinth is very well suited as feedstock in biodigestion. We have
conducted experiments with it in our Institute and I can recommend it as an
excellent feedstock for making biogas. Being aquatic, it has very little
lignin. Therefore its digestibility is very high. Being a plant, it has to
be mechanically macerated before introducing it into a biogas plant.
Yours
A.D.Karve
