In solid waste management, waste burning is regarded as one of ways for eliminating waste. In this study, municipal waste in one of the districts of Tehran was taken into account for a case study. Also, in special systems which need special care of temperature such as the system for controlling the temperature of the furnace fuel of burnable solid waste in temperature 950°C.
