This paper describes the results of research which is part of a multidisciplinary program sponsored by the Gas Research Institute. The use of water hyacinth and other aquatic plants for wastewater treatment and subsequent conversion of the biomass and sludge to methane was evaluated. Laboratory studies were conducted to evaluate advanced biogasification concepts and to establish a data base for the design of an integrated experimental test unit (ETU). 14 refs., 7 figs., 5 tabs.
