Abstract:
A method for operating a refuse incineration plant having a grate and a fire for making a generation of heat more uniform after the fire has been fanned, the method comprising the steps of: regulating a plurality of operating parameters, including at least one operating parameter from the group of parameters consisting of â€œrefuse meteringâ€ , â€œresidence time on the grateâ€  and â€œquantitative supply of primary airâ€ , as a function of a plurality of measured variables, including at least one measured variable from the group of variables consisting of â€œoxygen content in the flue gasâ€  and â€œquantity of steam generatedâ€ ; determining a calorific value parameter, which is a measure of the calorific value of the refuse or a change in the caloric value, from a further measured variable; and adjusting at least one of the operating parameters at least partially as a function of the calorific value parameter, the calorific value parameter being determined from the temperature of flue gas which is generated during incineration and is then saturated with steam.
