Sumario:Determine the most efficient anaerobic digestion technique for the treatment of the determination of the most efficient anaerobic digestion technique for the treatment of the FORS of the Carapungo Market of DMQ was the objective of the present study, through the comparative study of the biogas potential generated from a simple batch biodigestor, a batch biodigestor with Recirculation in one stage and a batch biodigestor with recirculation in two stages. No comparative studies have been performed between different anaerobic digestion techniques, evaluating the biogas potential obtained from the organic fraction of solid waste in the Carapungo Market. The hypothesis to be verified was if it generates a greater potential of biogas from the recirculation in two stages, in comparison with the other techniques of anaerobic digestion. Data processing was performed in Microsoft Excel for the comparison of the studied techniques, considering the biogas potential, methane content in the biogas and the assembly complexity of the experimental biodigesters. The comparison of the biogas potential between the techniques studied batch is not possible since the obtained gas has a percentage of methane less than 3%, which is not representative to be considered biogas. The FORS of the Carapungo Market must be treated with continuous anaerobic digestion systems, because experiences have shown that they are more efficient than batch systems for this type of waste.
