Abstract

The anaerobic digestion process opportunities, about sanitary and controlled landfills, are related to a biogas formation process through the biodegradation of organic substances in a predominantly anaerobic environment. Thus, through capacity adjustment of the Caturrita’s landfill in Santa Maria-RS reached an exploitation potential of 327,550 tons of deposited residues, resulting in a landfill, which has a low biogas production capacity. The methane recovered between 2013 and 2033, considering an availability of 70%, came to be 17,529,657m3. Admitting the carbon credits and electric energy commercialization, during the same period, the esteemed revenue would result in € 3,604,650, or amount around R$ 11,030,229, that is, a monthly profits of R$ 45,960.00.
