The specification discloses and describes a method and means for determining concentration of evaporated solvent in gases emitted from a drying oven and delivered to an incinerator, by simple measurement of the temperature of gases constituting products of combustion exhausted from the incinerator. By maintaining the fuel input to the incinerator constant and also maintaining the temperature of the gases entering the incinerator constant, the variation of the temperature of the products of combustion emitted from the incinerator with respect to a standard value reflects the variation in the concentration of evaporated solvents supplied to the incinerator. A valve means, responsively controlled according to the temperature of the products of combustion emitted from the incinerator, functions to regulate the admission of a diluent, such as air, to the oven, thereby regulating the concentration of evaporated solvent to a substantially constant and safe value and effecting regulation of a uniform temperature of gas products of combustion at the outlet of the incinerator.
