Overview
Anhui wastewater treatment plant serves Longzihu District, Bengbu, Anhui, China, with a population of 310,000. It operates under China's national wastewater standards.
The Anhui wastewater treatment plant is located in Longzihu District, Bengbu City, Anhui Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 310,000, classifying it as a large-scale municipal facility within the region. The plant is situated near the Huai River basin, a major waterway in eastern China. As a large agglomeration, the plant is expected to meet China's Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002), which mandates secondary treatment with nutrient removal for facilities of this scale. The regulatory framework ensures that treated effluent meets strict limits for biochemical oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, suspended solids, and nutrients before discharge. The treated wastewater likely discharges into local waterways that flow into the Huai River, which ultimately reaches the Yellow Sea. The plant plays a critical role in protecting the Huai River ecosystem from untreated sewage, supporting water quality for downstream communities and aquatic life.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Huai River basin, which flows through Anhui and Jiangsu provinces before emptying into the Yellow Sea. The Huai River supports diverse aquatic species and provides water for agriculture and industry. Effective treatment at this plant helps reduce nutrient loading and prevents eutrophication in downstream lakes and coastal waters.
