Chevron Nitrification Facility
The Chevron Nitrification Facility, located in the City of El Segundo, California, receives approximately 5 Million Gallons per Day (MGD) of Title 22 recycled water from the WBWRF. The Title 22 recycled water is further treated through a nitrification process for industrial applications. The Phase V Expansion Project may provide the facility improvements to accommodate an additional 0.58 MGD of nitrified water demand.

Carson Regional Water Recycling Treatment Facility
The Carson Regional Water Recycling Treatment Facility (Carson Facility), located in the City of Carson, further treats Title 22 recycled water from the Edward C. Little Water Recycling Facility through Microfiltration, Reverse Osmosis, and Nitrification treatment processes to provide high quality recycled water to a refinery user for boiler-feed and cooling tower applications.

As part of the Phase V Expansion Project, the Carson Facility will implement Ultra-Violet (UV) and advanced oxidation processes (AOP) to provide up to 1 MGD of barrier water to the Dominguez Gap Barrier. Currently, the Dominguez Gap Barrier receives highly treated barrier water from the County of Los Angeles' Terminal Island Treatment Facility. The Carson Facility currently treats approximately 3.5 MGD of high quality recycled water, which will increase to approximately 4.5 MGD as part of the Phase V Expansion Project.

Exxon-Mobil Nitrification Facility
The Exxon-Mobil Nitrification Facility, located in the City of Torrance, at the Exxon-Mobil Refinery, began operation in 1995. This major industrial user uses over 5,500 acre-feet per year, nearly 6 million gallons per day. This facility nitrifies the recycled water to remove ammonia prior to introduction into the cooling towers. Additional water is used as boiler feed water.
