As a large-scale municipal plant, the Anhui facility is expected to provide at least secondary treatment, with many similar plants incorporating advanced treatment to meet stringent effluent limits for sensitive water bodies. The designed capacity of 1. The plant's discharge ultimately reaches the Yangtze River basin via local waterways, as Chaohu City lies near the Yangtze River. The receiving water body supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor in eastern China. Proper treatment is critical to protect downstream water quality and the health of the Yangtze River ecosystem.
