Introduction to Hazardous Waste Incineration, 2nd Edition

The HWI Software Package is contained on the disk (sometimes referred to as a floppy disk) that accompanies this book. This package consists of three programs and two data files. The three programs are briefly described below and are discussed in detail in Sections A.3, A.4 and A.5. Two of the programs, HWI and HWITRL, serve as the basis for the USEPA Air Pollution Training Institute's self-instructional course, ST-458. The materials for this course are provided in a file named SETUP, which is also contained on the floppy disk and is provided as part of this package with permission of the Air Pollution Training Institute. The setup program also allows easier installation of the HWI and HWITRL programs to the hard drive.

The three programs that make up the HWI software package are:

1. HWI - This program performs the hazardous waste incinerator calculations. Communication between you and the program is handled in interactive fashion; all data are inputted in response to prompts that appear on the monitor screen during execution of the program. The data file HWLDAT supplies required information to HWI.

2. HWITRL - The "TRL' stands for tutorial. The purpose of HWITRL is to familiarize the user with the HWI program. The solutions to two problems, as they would he solved using HWI, are simulated in step-by-step fashion. Some explanation of the theory behind the calculations is also presented on the monitor during the execution of HWITRL.

3. HWIF - This program is an expanded version of HWI and allows for waste blending, a secondary combustion chamber and quenching of the gas products. The data file HWIF.DAT supplies required information to HWIF
