Overview
Anhui wastewater treatment plant serves Lixin County in Anhui Province, China, with a population equivalent of 99,800. The facility operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards.
The Anhui wastewater treatment plant is located in Lixin County, Bozhou City, Anhui Province, China, along the Feihe Avenue. It serves a population equivalent of approximately 99,800, classifying it as a medium-sized agglomeration under Chinese wastewater management frameworks. The plant is situated inland, more than 50 km from the coast, and its operations are governed by China's national discharge standards (GB 18918-2002) for municipal wastewater treatment. As a facility serving nearly 100,000 people, the plant is expected to meet at least secondary treatment standards under Chinese regulations, which require pollutant removal for BOD, COD, and suspended solids. Typical plants of this scale in Anhui employ activated sludge or similar biological processes. The regulatory framework ensures compliance with effluent limits for discharge into local water bodies. The treated effluent from the plant likely discharges into the Feihe River or its tributaries, which are part of the Huai River basin. The Huai River flows eastward into the Yellow Sea, supporting agricultural irrigation and aquatic ecosystems. The plant plays a crucial role in protecting the local watershed from untreated sewage, reducing nutrient loading and safeguarding downstream water quality.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Feihe River, a tributary of the Huai River basin, which ultimately drains into the Yellow Sea. The Huai River watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is an important water source for agriculture and industry in eastern China. The plant's operations help mitigate eutrophication risks and protect downstream ecosystems from organic pollution.
