Optimization and Smart Management of Incinerators in Iran Using Mathematical Models

Incineration of municipal solid waste is a widely used method of waste management worldwide. However, environmental pollution and adverse human health effects have raised serious concerns about the use of incinerators, particularly those employing outdated technologies. This paper investigates the current landscape of incinerator technologies globally, highlighting key differences between traditional and modern waste-to-energy (WTE) systems. A specific case study focuses on the incinerator in Sari, Mazandaran Province, Iran, evaluating its technological status, environmental impacts, and the region's waste generation profile. Employing mathematical modeling, the study proposes strategies for optimizing incinerator performance and implementing intelligent management systems. The results emphasize the need to adopt advanced technologies with robust environmental controls to reduce pollutant emissions and mitigate associated health risks. Finally, policy recommendations are offered to support sustainable and effective waste management practices in Iran.
