About Our Presentation
OC San is always looking for innovative processes and technologies to solve wastewater collection, treatment, and reuse challenges. Current examples include Supercritical Water Oxidation (SCWO) and Deep Well Injection initiatives to deal with solids derived from wastewater. The first step is to identify new technologies, but the second more difficult step is to rework our existing infrastructure to effectively utilize these new innovative opportunities.
Through the Strategic Planning and Asset Management Program, we can prioritize research and investments, then allocate resources to ensure that essential construction efforts like SCWO and Deep Well Injection are successfully implemented when ready. These programs not only safeguard the reliability and sustainability of our operations but also empowers us to plan for the future, address regulatory challenges, advance our mission of protecting public health and the environment, and demonstrate our commitment to environmental stewardship and efficient operation.
