Rehab to the Rescue!  Maximizing Value from Plant Rehabilitation Projects

Join us for an all-day training seminar and vendor exhibition focused on rehabilitation of treatment facilities and pump stations!  Learn about the challenges encountered on rehab projects, considerations in maintenance of plant operations (MOPO), and capitalize on rehab opportunities. 

This joint event is brought to you by the SARBS and LABS Professional Development Committee with technical presentations, vendor exhibits, and two tour options of the Orange County Sanitation District Plant No. 1 or the recently completed Headquarters Building. 

• OC San Plant No. 1 is the largest wastewater reclamation facility in Orange County treating an average daily flow of 124 million gallons per day including preliminary, primary, and secondary treatment (activated sludge and trickling filters) as well as solids digestion and dewatering. All secondary effluent from Plant No. 1 is reclaimed by its next-door neighbor, Orange County Water District’s Groundwater Replenishment System--the world’s largest indirect potable reuse facility. Biosolids are hauled away for soil amendments, and the biogas is used on-site by the central generation facility to supply electricity.
  
  
• OC San Headquarters Building recently completed construction and opened its doors in June 2024. The state-of-the-art, three-story building provides 109,000-square feet of office space for over 300 employees with a pedestrian bridge over Ellis Avenue to connect the building to the OC San Plant No. 1. OC San received the 2024 Project of the Year award from the U.S. Green Building Council California implementing net-zero design features (carbon, energy, heating, shading).
