Tetra Tech, Inc.
The Ypsilanti Community Utilities Authority needed to replace its aging incinerator. A world-class incinerator was installed with a four-step emissions control system that includes a carbon adsorber (the first municipal biosolids installation in the U.S.). The system surpasses Michigan's stringent air toxics rule and raised the bar for best available control technologies nationwide.
