BACKGROUND

 

Each month, staff delivers an informational presentation on topics of interest to the Board of Directors.  This month’s focus is an update to the Orange County Sanitation District’s demonstration project for a Supercritical Water Oxidation facility.  The General Manager will present a verbal report (and pictures as they are available) on the recent trip to Orlando, Florida by the Board Chairman, Board Vice-Chairman, and General Manager, where they observed the agreed upon initial deployment of AirSCWO technology.  This demonstration in Orlando aims to refine the technology before deployment of a production 6-ton unit for OC San’s Fountain Valley facility.
