Abstract |
The manual describes the use of the Process Model Projection Technique (PROMPT), one of four stationary source emission and control cost forecasting models developed by the EPA for the National Acid Precipitation Assessment Program (NAPAP). PROMPT projects air pollution emissions (sulfur dioxide, sulfates, and nitrogen oxides) and costs for industrial combustion and industrial processes; i.e., process heaters, furnaces, dryers, kilns, engines, turbines, and wood-fired boilers. PROMPT excludes the combustion of natural gas, distillate or residual fuel oil, and coal in industrial boilers. The outputs are provided for 1980 (baseline), 1985 (forecasted, not actual), 1990, 1995, 2000, 2010, 2020, and 2030. The manual is for Version 3.0 of PROMPT. It includes procedures and options for model operation on an IBM-AT or compatible personal computer. The model's operation is menu driven and relatively easy to use. |
