Abstract

The rapid population growth and industrialization have generated a large amount of organic solid waste, a source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that cause global warming. A similar reality crosses the Casa Grande district, since the solid waste from the market is disposed of in the Roma dump. The objective of the research was to design discontinuous biodigesters to produce biofertilizers from organic solid waste from the Casa Grande market. The data collection was through survey and observation techniques, aimed at 80 holders of commercial positions in the organic sector. SolidWorks CAD software was used for the design of the biodigesters. The results of the questionnaires show a daily generation of 0.395 Tn of organic waste, for which 8 batch biodigesters (BATCH) will be needed, whose characteristics are a volume of 200 liters, 0.87 m high and 0.7 m in diameter. The production of biofertilizers was standardized with a flow chart. After 60 days, 1184 liters of biol and 0.384 tons of biosol will be produced, which will be used to rehabilitate the green areas of the Casa Grande district.
