Thermite contains its own supply of oxygen and does not require any external source of air. Consequently, it cannot be smothered, and may ignite in any environment given sufficient initial heat. It burns well while wet, and cannot be easily extinguished with water—though enough water to remove sufficient heat may stop the reaction. [22]

The sea water intakes from the 1950s-era plant will now be used to pull ocean water in for desalination as the AES power generating plant is being rebuilt to use air instead of sea water to cool the plant. [6] The plant would include a brine diffuser system to help disperse the brine in the ocean upon release. [8]
The composition by weight of Thermate-TH3 (in military use) is 68.7% thermite, 29.0% barium nitrate, 2.0% sulfur and 0.3% binder (such as polybutadiene acrylonitrile (PBAN)). As both thermite and thermate are notoriously difficult to ignite, initiating the reaction normally requires supervision and sometimes persistent effort.
The outflow of the plant is put into the discharge from Encina Power Station for dilution, for a final salt concentration about 20% higher than seawater. Most desalination plants discharge water with about 50% extra salt, which can lead to dead spots in the ocean, because the super-salinated brine does not mix well with seawater. [16]
West tunnel to Oceanside Water Pollution Control Plant, March 2020. Oceanside is a secondary treatment plant handling about 20% of the city's wastewater from one-third of the city's residents. Its maximum capacity is 65 million US gallons (250,000 m 3) per day, with an average daily dry weather flow of 17 million US gallons (64,000 m 3).
Ocean outfall pipes in Cape May, New Jersey, United States - pipes exposed after the sand was removed by severe storm. A marine outfall (or ocean outfall) is a pipeline or tunnel that discharges municipal or industrial wastewater, stormwater, combined sewer overflows (CSOs), cooling water, or brine effluents from water desalination plants to the sea.
Hyperion sewage plant treats approximately 250 million U.S. gallons (950 million liters) of wastewater on a day-to-day basis. Treating this much water on a daily basis takes a lot of energy. The plant has cut costs with its own power plant that uses methane gas gathered from the waste to fuel the plant, saving money.
