The Anhui wastewater treatment plant is located in Luyang District, Hefei, within Anhui Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 122,000 people, placing it in the medium-to-large agglomeration category for Chinese municipal wastewater infrastructure. As a plant in China, it operates under the national Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002), which sets effluent limits for conventional pollutants and nutrients. For plants serving over 100,000 people, advanced treatment with nutrient removal is typically required to meet Class 1A standards, especially in sensitive watersheds. The plant discharges into the local water system within the Yangtze River basin, which ultimately flows into the East China Sea. The downstream environment supports diverse aquatic life and provides water for agricultural and industrial use, making effective treatment critical for regional water quality and ecosystem health.
Environmental context
The plant is situated inland in the Yangtze River basin, over 50 km from the coast. Treated effluent likely enters local waterways that feed into the Yangtze River, which discharges into the East China Sea. The downstream environment includes wetlands and lakes that support migratory birds and fish, requiring nutrient control to prevent eutrophication.
