This document is Volume I 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. The course is not intended to replace site-specific, hands-on training of operators with the specific equipment to be operated. Volume I is narrative in style and can be used as a reference at the completion of the class. Review questions and answers for students are provided at the end of each classroom session. 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.
