Pilot-scale Validation of Tertiary MBR Design Concepts for Potable Reuse in Southern California
Abstract
The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (Metropolitan) and Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts (LACSD) are jointly exploring the potential of implementing the Pure Water Southern California (PWSC) program, which would include building an Advanced Water Treatment Facility (AWTF) capable of producing a 568 MLD (150 mgd) of purified water at LACSD’s Joint Water Pollution Control Plant (JWPCP) in Carson, CA. A series of studies conducted by both agencies have identified the application of a tertiary membrane bioreactor (tMBR) as a promising approach to provide nitrogen removal downstream of the JWPCP. This pilot study focused on evaluating tMBR design concepts with an emphasis on demonstrating successful operation of nitrification-denitrification (NDN) tMBR concepts. This study showed that NDN operated in a pre-anoxic configuration either utilizing supplemental carbon or primary effluent provides a promising approach for PWSC and potential future ocean discharge requirements for JWPCP
Pure Water Southern California is a potential reuse program to provide substantial water resiliency to Southern California. A series of studies identified use of a tertiary membrane bioreactor as a promising approach to manage nitrogen prior to advanced water treatment. The Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts initiated this pilot study to refine design and operational characteristics of the process.
