Abstract: A dynamic modular neural network (DMNN) for NOx emission prediction in MSWI process is provided. First, the input variables are smoothed and normalized. Then, a feature extraction method based on principal component analysis (PCA) was designed to realize the dynamic division of complex conditions, and the prediction task to be processed was decomposed into sub-tasks under different conditions. In addition, aiming each sub-tasks, a long short-term memory (LSTM)-based sub-network is constructed to achieve accurate prediction of NOx emissions under various working conditions. Finally, a cooperative strategy is used to integrate the output of the sub-networks, further improving the accuracy of prediction model. Finally, merits of the proposed DMNN are confirmed on a benchmark and real industrial data of a municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) process. The problem that the NOx emission of MSWI process is difficult to be accurately predicted due to the sensor limitation is effectively solved.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, apparatuses, and methods for using a sensed combustion zone temperature to continuously control combustion of a first (main) gas within an enclosed combustor. The combustor is in fluid communication with a first gas line carrying the first gas, a second gas line independent of the first gas line carrying a second (assist) gas having a higher heating value than the first gas, and air dampers providing draft or assist air. The first gas may be vapors from a production source or tank. A computer control system monitors the combustion zone temperature of the enclosed combustor as sensed by a sensor in electronic communication with the computer control system and controls the combustion zone temperature by changing a condition of a first gas line valve of the first gas line, a second gas line valve of the second gas line, and the air dampers.

Abstract: A boiler apparatus for waste incineration includes a combustion chamber having a waste inlet formed on one side and combustion spaces for incinerating the introduced waste. Air injection pipes are vertically spaced apart from one another from a lower part of the combustion chamber, extend along the circumference thereof, and have injection holes to inject air toward the center of the combustion spaces. An air supply unit supplies air to each of the air injecting pipes separately, in response to a control signal. Temperature sensors are mounted in the combustion spaces in respective stages vertically divided on the basis of the air injecting pipes, to measure a combustion temperature of the combustion space within the combustion chamber. A control module controls operation of the air supply unit, to control an injection amount of air fed to the combustion space according to a combustion temperature measured by each temperature sensor.
