Numerical Simulation of Combustion Process in a 350t/d MSW Incinerator

Abstract:

A mathematical model was presented for the combustion of municipal solid waste in a 350t/d MSW-burning incinerator. Numerical simulations were performed to predict the temperature and the species distributions in the furnace, with practical operational conditions taken into account. When the total air supply is constant, reducing primary air and increasing secondary air properly results in the higher total temperature of the furnace and the more oxygen concentration at the furnace outlet, and thereby contributes to the complete combustion of combustibles so that an optimal combustion effect can be achieved.
