Abstract: Animal waste resulting from food production represents a potential sanitary risk. For this reason, it is necessary to apply an effective and ecologically safe procedure for eliminating this danger. In this process, one of the numerous legal obligations is maintaining a flue gas temperature of 850 °C. Animal waste has a relatively low calorific value and a high moisture content, so it requires a certain amount of auxiliary fuel to incinerate. The purpose of this paper is the minimization or elimination of auxiliary fuel consumption during the incineration of low-calorific waste.
