ABSTRACT
The thermal conversion of municipal solid waste in a WtE plant calls for detailed understanding of the process. The process depends on several input parameters like proximate and ultimate analyses of the waste feed, primary and secondary inlet air velocity, and on the output parameters such as temperature or mass flow rate of conversion products. The variability and mutual dependence of these parameters can be challenging to manage in practice. Another issue of relevance is, how the complex design features of the reactor can be structured to achieve the optimal conversion conditions with minimal pollutant emissions.
