Oceanside Water Pollution Control Plant

We went on a family outing to the Oceanside Water Pollution Control Plant in San Francisco. This was great, I felt like I was on vacation. After the water is treated it goes into the Pacific. The egg shaped things in the picture are digesters, where anaerobic bacteria are eating solids from the water. Enough methane is produced by this to power 20% of the plant.
