Abstract:
1. An incineration plant comprising: a) a furnace for incinerating combustible materials; b) a feeding hopper with an attached feeding chute for feeding the combustible materials onto a firing grate via a feed table; c) a thermography camera configured to measure a temperature of a combustion bed of the furnace; d) a conveyor device configured to feed incineration residues back to the combustible materials; e) a buffer storage for the incineration residues that are to be fed back to the combustible materials; f) a plurality of sensors configured to measure a gas content above said combustion bed; and g) a central computer unit coupled to said thermography camera, to said conveyor device and to said plurality of sensors, said central computer unit configured to: receive measured values from said thermography camera, from said conveyor device and from said plurality of sensors, said measured values corresponding to a conveyed amount of incineration residues fed back by said conveyor device; generate a control signal for regulating a volume flow rate of the incineration residues fed by said conveyor device based upon said measured values and independently of a rate of the feeding of the combustible materials onto said firing grate via said feed table; generate a control signal for regulating a flow rate of primary combustion air based upon said measured values; and generate a control signal for regulating a flow rate of secondary combustion air based upon said measured values.
