The purpose of this article is to show the steps followed in the design of a solid residue incinerator that will use the technique of pulse combustion. The system is composed of a rotary kiln and a post combustion chamber. Cold flow tests are discussed; they indicate that it is possible to excite acoustically the designed system and operate it under active control. Keywords. incineration, residues, pulse combustion.
