ENV E 647 PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROCESSES FOR WATER POLLUTION CONTROL
Tijuana River Water Reuse
FINAL PROJECTS
Fall 2024
Each team was tasked with designing an upgrade to the expanded 50 MGD International Wastewater Treatment Plant. Teams upgraded the entire expanded facility to produce water for both non-potable and potable reuse.

Project Instructions:
Phase I. Non-potable reuse
Teams designed an upgrade to produce water that meets California Code of Regulations (CCR) Title 22 (Division 4, Chapter 3) requirements for unrestricted non-potable water reuse, where disinfected tertiary water is required. Of this 50 MGD treated, 30 MGD will be “recycled water” and is used in a non-potable reuse application of each team’s choosing.
Phase II. Potable water reuse
Of the 50 MGD tertiary treated wastewater, 20 MGD will go on to another phase at the same facility, where the water can be the source water for a drinking water treatment plant. Each team's potable water reuse upgrade, “Tijuana River Pure Water Project,” was designed to achieve standards for indirect potable reuse (IPR) via groundwater augmentation in the South Bay. Ultimately, the water will be pumped to a drinking water treatment plant in Tijuana or the South Bay of San Diego.
