A procedure exists for performing fast and accurate energy and mass balance calculations on the basis of limited input data using sound engineering principles. This procedure can be useful to incinerator designers and operators and especially to permit writers. Permit writers can use the procedure to evaluate the feasibility of incinerator designs and concepts, to issue research, development and demonstration (RD and D) or construction permits and to evaluate the consistency of trial burn measurements and set appropriate operating limits on the basis of those measurements for operating permits of hazardous waste incinerators. Principles and applications of this procedure are discussed including the evaluation of data from two full-scale field tests and one hypothetical RD and D permit application.
