A FLUIDIZED BED INCINERATION SYSTEM PERMITTING EXPERIENCE AT THE YPSILANTI COMMUNITY UTILITIES AUTHORITY WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITY

Abstract

An expansion of the Ypsilanti (MI) Community Utilities Authority YCUA Wastewater Treatment Plant was completed in 2006. Part of that expansion was a replacement of the old multiple-hearth biosolids incinerator with a new fluidized-bed incinerator system with state-of-the-art, best-available technologies for ensuring cleaner air in the community. Obtaining the Permit to Install, and completing acceptance testing presented a number of challenges. This paper describes how these challenges were met successfully to provide YUCA with the cleanest municipal biosolids incinerator system in the U.S.
