Abstract: Incineration is being used or is planned as a destruction technology for stockpiles of Chemical Warfare Agents (CWA) in the USA. This paper presents the development of models for analysing a Liquid Incinerator Chamber (LIC) for destroying liquid chemical weapon agent (GB, HD or VX) drained from munitions contained in the US Army chemical weapons stockpile. The models predict complete destruction of the chemical agent when the incinerators and afterburners are operated as per standard operating conditions. Under normal operating conditions the agent is destroyed within the primary furnace chamber.
