Abstract: | |
The Strategic WAste Minimization Initiative (SWAMI) Software Program, Version 2.0, is a user-friendly computer tool for enhancing process analysis techniques to identify waste minimization opportunities within an industrial setting.
The user audience for the software program includes: industrial waste generators (primary manufacturers, assemblers and finishers and distributors); federal and state agencies providing pollution prevention assistance, regional permit writers and regulatory staff; local city and county assistance organizations involved in promoting waste reduction and pollution prevention at the source; educators in engineering institutions and consultants.
This software program assists the user in:
- Simplifying the highly complex task of process analysis of hazardous materials use, identification, and tracking.
- Storing process information for any future reassessment and evaluation of pollution prevention opportunities due to changes in process design.
- Simulating the effect of waste stream analysis based on process changes in promoting pollution prevention afternatives.
- Developing mass balance calculations for the entire process and for unit operations by total mass, individual chemical compounds, and specific chemical elements.
- Performing cost benefit studies for one or more feasible waste reduction or pollution prevention solutions.
- Prioritizing opportunity points by cost of treatment and disposal or volume of hazardous waste generated.
- Developing flow diagrams of material inputs, process sequencing, and waste output streams.
- Identifying pollution prevention strategies and concepts.
- Consolidating pollution prevention and waste information reports for in-house use and meeting pollution prevention and toxic material inventory report requirements.
- Interfacing with other EPA pollution prevention tools including the "Waste Minimization Opportunity Assessment Manual," the Pollution Prevention Information Clearinghouse On-Line Bulletin Board (PPIC), and the Pollution Prevention Economic Software Program.
