Abstract
Using anaerobic digestion technology for the production of biogas micro and macro scales is considered as a promising approach, especially in development projects, management, and organization of organic waste generated in urban and rural areas. Conditions such as climate, culture, economy, and technology create different models of energy production systems from waste. Different devices in the world are built and operated. Choose the most suitable method for production of energy with the highest quantity and quality is the main concern of researchers and users. Analytical Hierarchy Process is a technique that is useful for decision-making on the basis of criteria considered in choosing the best system and using the views and experiences of experts in this field. In this study, three anaerobic digestion system to generate energy from biomass were compared couple based on the possibility of localized within the country, dependence on other energy sources, sensitive to the quality of input sources, allowing installation in various capacities, worldwide feedback, ease of set-up and installation and the complexity of the system. Dranco digestion system with relative value 0.471 and inconsistency rate 0.08 is an anaerobic digestion system that preferred experts to produce energy from biomasses in Iran.

Summary
Energy has always played an important role in human, economic, and social development. AHP as a multi-criteria decision aid helped managers for analysing and prioritizing the alternatives in a hierarchical structure and allows them examine different scenarios. In this method, the problem classified into subcategories on the basis of the criteria, and the decision tree is formed. Prioritizing the cultivation of strategic agricultural products in Alborz province using the fuzzy Delphi method and the hierarchical analysis process, study of Quezada, Palominos, & Gonzalez (2013) using the application of AHP in the Design of a Strategy Map, study of Mohammadian, Shahnoushi, Ghorbani, & Aghel (2009). Choosing a Potential Crop Pattern using AHP Analysis Model, study of Tahriri, Osman, Ali, Yusuff, & Esfandiary (2008) evaluating and selecting supplier in a steel manufacturing company and study of Hill, Braaten, Veitch, Lees, & Sharma (2005) locating and prioritizing the optimal site for solid waste landfill
