West Basin Municipal Water District recently marked the completion of the Juanita Millender-McDonald Carson Regional Water Recycling Plant (JMMCRWRP) Phase II Expansion Project. The project included construction of a new Custom-Engineered Membrane Filtration (CEMF) system which significantly increases the low-pressure boiler feed supply capacity.
The newly installed CEMF system is an open platform microfiltration system that can accommodate up to six different membranes in the treatment skids and is able to process nearly six million gallons of recycled water per day. The design also allows for more efficient cleaning and restoration of membrane permeability, enhancing the system’s overall performance.
The expansion increases the plant’s capacity and reliability of recycled water deliveries to Marathon Petroleum’s Los Angeles Refinery in Carson for its cooling towers and boiler system.
The State Water Resources Control Board helped bring the project to fruition with $15.7 million in assistance from the Clean Water State Revolving Fund and $8 million in grant funding from Proposition 1.
