Performance of a Pumping System Handling Water Hyacinth

Recently, a few authors investigated usage pumping system for control water hyacinth and studied the method to develop this system to improve its performance. It is important to continue studies to improve water hyacinth mechanical control, but meanwhile there is also a need to design control strategies based on the level of water hyacinth infestations and national socioeconomic constraints, but there is a big problem, this problem is, water hyacinth transportation. Realizing that fresh water hyacinth contains nearly 95% water, most of which has to be extracted before usage, the economic viability of the economic uses must be seriously considered, In any case, utilization must never be considered as an option for controlling the menace of water hyacinth. To overcome this problem, the present study used the idea of chopper pumps which used in industrial applications or municipal applications that involve pumping solids-laden slurry.
