✦ Synopsis
A process simulation model was constructed for a 2 ton h\ incinerator. The simulation model was designed to provide system performance parameters according to various operating conditions. In accommodating the wide variation of quality and composition of input wastes, the plant operating parameters such as amount of excess air, preheated air temperature, waste feed rate and primary air distribution over the stoker, etc. must be carefully controlled. The proposed model calculates operating variables of each submodule, by employing steady-state thermal and material balance equations. Combustion of waste bed, and its radiative heat transfer in the combusion chamber are considered. The calculated results of the combustion chamber performance are evaluated, in terms of temperature, locations and width of the flame band, and mean residence time in the secondary combustion chamber. These results are compared with a limited set of field test measurements for verification of the model.
