This work presents a linear, steady-state model of a rotary kiln hazardous waste incinerator. Mass balance constraints, energy balance constraints, constraints typically imposed by incinerator permits, and constraints imposed by design limitations are all included in the model. The model is used to

The proper and continuous operation of an incineration system for hazardous wastes has become a major responsibility of the plant engineer. The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) established the final requirements for incinerators on July 21,1982. Owners and operators of incinerators had
Solid waste is a public health problem of great magnitude. Each year in the United States, approximately 150 million tons of waste are generated. More than 80% of this material is discarded by burial in landfills [EPA, 19861. Unfortunately, landfills are becoming filled. Many are already at capacity
