Characterization of different solid fuels from waste for an advanced online fuel control system designed for large-scale incineration plants.

Despite many years of experience in the incineration of solid fuels from waste, the heterogeneity of solid fuels and their varying properties still pose a challenge for a stable and clean combustion in large-scale incineration plants. In modern facilities such as municipal waste incineration plants there still exists a lack of knowledge on the exact amount and calorific value of waste entering onto the grate. Based on the works of Warnecke et al.
