Overview
Anhui wastewater treatment plant serves Qiaocheng District, Bozhou, Anhui, China, with a population equivalent of 460,000. It operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards.
The Anhui wastewater treatment plant is located in Qiaocheng District, Bozhou City, Anhui Province, China. It serves a population equivalent of approximately 460,000, classifying it as a large-scale municipal facility within the region. The plant is situated in the eastern part of China, an area characterized by a temperate climate and significant agricultural activity. As a large agglomeration, the plant is expected to meet China's Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002), which mandates secondary treatment with nutrient removal for facilities of this scale. The regulatory framework also requires compliance with local environmental protection bureau permits, ensuring treated effluent meets specified limits for biochemical oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, suspended solids, and nutrients. The plant discharges treated wastewater into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Huai River basin, a major tributary of the Yangtze River. The Huai River system supports diverse aquatic life and provides water for irrigation and drinking downstream. Proper treatment at this plant helps protect water quality in the region, reducing eutrophication risks and safeguarding ecological health.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent flows into local streams that are part of the Huai River basin, which drains into the Yangtze River and eventually the East China Sea. The Huai River watershed supports a variety of freshwater species and is important for regional agriculture and fisheries. Effective nutrient removal at this plant helps mitigate algal blooms and maintains the ecological balance of downstream waters.
