EPI, 25 years of Engineering Excellence
Since 1973, EPI has been providing innovative engineering
solutions to meet the ever evolving needs for energy from industry's wastes and meeting
the increasing demand for the protection of our environment. During this time EPI has
designed and provided more than 90 major energy systems worldwide and has provided
numerous energy system upgrades.
In
recognizing EPI's outstanding engineering achievements, Power Magazine presented
to EPI their "Power Plant of the Year for Energy Conservation" award
in 1983 for work at Northern States Power, and in 1991 Power Magazine awarded
EPI their "Power Plant of the Year " award for the outstanding
retrofit design at the City of Tacoma.
