The problem of experimental analysis and modeling of nitrogen oxide emissions in a municipal solid waste incinerator is addressed in this paper. Identification of a continuous-time model from input-output data is presented here as an alternative to physical modeling. Identification results are discussed and cost effective propositions are made to achieve reduction of nitrogen oxide emissions in municipal solid waste incinerators by improving the air feeding control system.
