          Application No. 09/725,428                                                  

          operating parameters of the waste gas purification system.                  
          Further details of this appealed subject matter are set forth in            
          representative independent claim 1 which reads as follows:                  
                    1.   A method for purifying process waste gases                   
               containing selected harmful substances comprising:                     
                         introducing the process waste gases with                     
               combustible gas and oxygen into a waste gas purification               
               system having a combustion chamber, an exit, and operating             
               parameters, including amount of combustible gas and amount             
               of oxygen;                                                             
                         post-treating reaction products leaving the                  
               combustion chamber in a sorbtion chamber with an associated            
               washing agent circuit containing washing agent having a                
               selectable pH;                                                         
                         measuring with a first detector the type and                 
               amount of selected harmful substances in the process waste             
               gas before said waste gases enter the waste gas purification           
               system to generate first measuring signals;                            
                    determining with a second detector the type and                   
               amount of selected harmful substances of the reaction                  
               products leaving the waste gas purification system at the              
               exit of the purification system to generate second measuring           
               signals; and                                                           
                    directly using the first and second measuring                     
               signals for adjusting the operating parameters of the waste            
               gas purification system, including amount of combustible               
               gas, amount of oxygen, amount of washing agent in the                  
               washing agent circuit, and pH of the washing agent.
