Description:
The Strategic WAste Minimization Initiative (SWAMI) Software, Version 2.0 is a tool for using process analysis for identifying waste minimization opportunities within an industrial setting. The software requires user-supplied information for process definition, as well as material inputs and products for each unit operation and outputs associated with waste streams. SWAMI provides a scheme for identifying and prioritizing (on a cost or volume basis) waste reduction opportunities in process units and treatment operations, performs mass balance calculations, draws process flow diagrams, and directs the selection of candidate waste minimization strategies. This software system was developed in conjunction with the U.S. EPA publication "Waste Minimization Opportunity Assessment Manual" (EPA/625/7-88/003). The use of that manual can provide the information necessary for input to this software.
