Power from Water Hyacinth
We need information to help us with a developing world project in the tropics to do with using water-hyacinths for new energy. Our invention is a gas-turbine powered dewatering and drying processor. This will turn the plants into solid fuel equivalent to an output of 6.8 MW and generate electric power of 600 kW simultaneously.
In the Niger Delta, for example, wood is used as fuel at such a rate that forest is being depleted at 3.6 times the reforestation rate and attempts are being made to substitute water-hyacinths
Question is would this size be suitable? If not what would be suitable in your opinion please?
