Cultivation of Macroscopic Marine Algae and Fresh Water Aquatic Weeds

Cultivation of Macroscopic Marine Algae and Fresh Water Aquatic Weeds

Research output: NREL › Subcontract Report

Abstract

Stable, continuous anaerobic digestion of both water hyacinths and Gracilaria has now been maintained for over one year with an average gas production from both species of 0.4 1/g volatile solids at 60% methane. Solid and liquid residues from anaerobic digestion of water hyacinths were found to be a superior source of nutrients to chemical defined enrichment medium for new growth of the plants.
