✦ Synopsis

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 perform optimization studies, which maximize a measure of the incinerator's throughput. The sensitivity of the model to uncertainties in the chemical property values of the waste streams is also examined. For the spectrum of case studies examined, the optimal operating conditions are most sensitive to halogen content and water content of the wastes and are less sensitive to variations in heating value and nitrogen content. Correspondence concerning this pper should be a d d 4 to D. T. Allen.

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

Environmental policy encouraging hazardous waste reduction began in 1976 with an Environmental Protection Agency statement promoting source reduction as the preferred method of hazardous waste management. In 1984, Congress included a policy statement supporting waste reduction in the Hazardous and S
