Its precise design demands certain compromises as the process requirements change with the fuel characteristics.

Its precise design demands certain compromises as the process requirements change with the fuel characteristics. In general, three different designs can be distinguished based on the flow direction of the [[Flue Gas|flue gases]] in relation to the [[Waste|waste]] flow: unidirectional current, counter-current and medium current. | ||
