Butier Engineering, Inc. is performing construction management services for West Basin Municipal Water District’s Juanita Millender-McDonald Carson Regional Water Recycling Plant (JMMCRWRP) Phase II Expansion Project. Since 2000, the JMMCRWRP has delivered more than 28 billion gallons of recycled water to Marathon Petroleum’s Carson refinery for boiler feed and cooling tower use. The expansion, which includes the installation of a new 5.88 MGD custom-engineered microfiltration (CEMF) system, will increase water supply capacity and improve system operability and reliability at the five-acre JMMCRWRP.  Additional scope of work items include:

• Tie-in to existing on-site potable water line for backup supplies to the three main storage tanks with air-gap fittings
• Installation of a 600 kW standby generator to provide the ability to continue pumping product water to the refinery during a power outage
• Installation of a carbon dioxide storage and dosing system that feeds into the existing Biofor unit
• Associated civil, structural, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, controls, system integration, and instrumentation upgrades
• System performance testing and startup activities
