Overview
Anhui wastewater treatment plant serves Yuhui District, Bengbu, Anhui, China, with a population equivalent of 200,000. It is located inland, over 50 km from the coast, and discharges into the local river system.
The Anhui wastewater treatment plant is located in Qinji Town, Yuhui District, Bengbu City, Anhui Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 200,000 people, classifying it as a large agglomeration under Chinese wastewater management standards. The plant is situated inland, more than 50 kilometers from the coast, and its operations are part of the municipal infrastructure for Bengbu. As a large-scale facility, the plant is expected to meet secondary treatment standards under China's national wastewater discharge regulations (GB 18918-2002). The treatment process typically involves biological treatment to reduce organic pollutants and nutrients before discharge. The plant's capacity and specific treatment details are managed by local authorities to comply with environmental protection requirements. The treated effluent is discharged into the Huai River basin, which flows eastward into the Yangtze River and ultimately to the East China Sea. The Huai River is a major waterway in eastern China, supporting agriculture, industry, and aquatic ecosystems. The plant plays a key role in protecting water quality in the region, reducing pollution loads that could affect downstream communities and biodiversity.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Huai River basin, a major tributary of the Yangtze River. The Huai River flows through densely populated agricultural and industrial areas before reaching the East China Sea. The river supports diverse aquatic life and is an important water source for irrigation and drinking water. Effective wastewater treatment is critical to prevent eutrophication and protect the ecological health of the river and its downstream estuary.
