Plant/Process Description:
The JWPCP is one of the largest wastewater
treatment plants in the world and is the largest
of the Districts' wastewater treatment plants. The
facility provides both primary and secondary
treatment for approximately 320 million gallons of
wastewater per day.
Solids collected in Primary Treatment and
Secondary Treatment are processed in anaerobic
digestion tanks where bacteria break down organic
material and produce methane gas. After digestion,
the solids are dewatered at Solids Processing and
hauled off-site for use in composting and land
application, or combined with municipal solid
waste for co-disposal. Methane gas generated in
the anaerobic digestion process is used to produce
power and digester heating steam in a Combined
Cycle Power Plant that utilizes gas turbines and
waste-heat recovery steam generators. The on-site
generation of power permits the JWPCP to be
self-sufficient with respect to its energy
requirements.
The plant serves a population of approximately 3
1/2 million people throughout Los Angeles County.
Prior to discharge, the treated wastewater is
disinfected with hypochlorite and sent to the
Pacific Ocean through a network of outfalls. These
outfalls extend two miles off the Palos Verdes
Peninsula to a depth of 200 feet.
