    Abstract:
    A test predicting air classifier performance is developed and evaluated in a waste-to-energy production facility. Using samples of municipal solid waste, a test to predict success, both easy and economical to conduct, is considered in terms of its principles, the test methodology, and experimental results, as well as air classification comparisons. Conclusions are drawn which indicate the strengths and limitations of this method of prediction.
