Overview
Anhui wastewater treatment plant serves Guxian County, Bengbu, Anhui, China, with a population equivalent of 100,000. It operates under China's national wastewater standards, discharging treated effluent into local waterways.
The Anhui wastewater treatment plant is located in Guxian County, Bengbu City, Anhui Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 100,000, classifying it as a medium-to-large agglomeration under Chinese wastewater management frameworks. The plant is situated inland, away from coastal areas, and its treated effluent is discharged into local rivers that ultimately flow into the Huai River basin. As a facility serving 100,000 people, 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 plants of this scale. The regulatory framework ensures compliance with national effluent quality standards. The plant's discharge contributes to the water quality of the Huai River system, which is a major waterway in eastern China. The Huai River flows through densely populated agricultural and industrial regions before reaching the Yellow Sea. Proper treatment is essential to protect downstream aquatic ecosystems and water supply for communities.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into local tributaries of the Huai River, which flows eastward through Anhui and Jiangsu provinces before emptying into the Yellow Sea. The Huai River basin supports diverse aquatic life and provides water for irrigation and drinking. The region experiences seasonal flooding and water scarcity, making effective wastewater treatment critical for maintaining water quality and ecological balance.
