Abstract
The work contains a description of a developed experimental and theoretical method of modeling
of solid waste combustion in a device equipped with a moving grate and capability to optimize the
work of waste incineration plant. Implementation of this issue was based on results of experimental
studies made on a laboratory scale boiler. This was possible by defining and testing indicators of
quantitative assessment of combustion such as: reaction front rate, ignition rate, the rate of combusted
mass loss and the heat release rate. These indicators as measurable "criteria indicators" allow transfer
of parameters from a laboratory-scale unit, working in the transient regime into an industrial full scale
grate device working continuously in stable determined conditions. This allows for wide optimization
possibilities in the operation of a waste incineration plant, in particular the combustion chamber,
equipped with a moving grate system.
