Abstract
The invention relates to a system for thermal combustion processes of matter such as, for instance, waste incineration. The system comprises a computer for measuring parameters of the combustion of the matter, wherein use, matter, such as for instance waste, is supplied to the system and combusted, thereby forming a flue gas. The system further comprises means for determining the concentration of CO2, O2 and H2O in the flue gas. The computer is arranged for determining, on the basis of the measured concentrations, the rate of combustion and/or the composition of the combustible part CHyOz of the waste supplied to the system, for the purpose of process control.
