This document is Volume II of a three-volume training course for operators of hospital-waste incinerators. The course provides hospital waste-incinerator operators with a basic understanding of the principles of incineration and air pollution control and to identify good operation and maintenance (O M) practices. Proper O M, in addition to reducing air emissions, improves equipment reliability and performance, prolongs equipment life, and helps to ensure proper ash burnout. Volume II contains classroom materials including a copy of the presentation slides so that students can follow along during the class and worksheets that can be completed during the classroom sessions. The course includes 11 separate classroom sessions covering topics such as basic combustion principles and incinerator design; air pollution control equipment design, function, operation, and monitoring; incinerator operation; maintenance inspections; typical problems; and State regulations.
