Overview
Anhui wastewater treatment plant serves Dongzhi County in Chizhou, Anhui Province, China. It treats wastewater from approximately 130,000 people as part of the municipal infrastructure.
The Anhui wastewater treatment plant is located in Dongzhi County, within the city of Chizhou in Anhui Province, China. The facility serves a population of approximately 130,000 residents, classifying it as a medium-to-large agglomeration under Chinese wastewater management standards. China's wastewater treatment regulations, including the Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002), require secondary treatment as a baseline for plants of this scale. The plant is expected to meet these national standards, which also mandate nutrient removal in sensitive watersheds. The treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies that ultimately flow into the Yangtze River basin, one of China's most ecologically and economically significant river systems. The plant plays a key role in protecting downstream water quality and supporting the health of the Yangtze River ecosystem.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into local waterways that are part of the Yangtze River basin, the longest river in Asia and a critical freshwater resource. The downstream environment includes the Yangtze River estuary and the East China Sea, supporting diverse aquatic life and providing water for millions of people. Proper treatment is essential to prevent eutrophication and protect biodiversity in this ecologically sensitive region.
