Overview
The Anhui wastewater treatment plant serves 64,800 people in Chizhou, Anhui Province, China. It operates under China's national wastewater standards, discharging treated effluent into local waterways.
The Anhui wastewater treatment plant is located in Rongcheng Town, Qingyang County, Chizhou City, Anhui Province, China. It serves a population of 64,800, classifying it as a medium-sized municipal facility within the region's wastewater infrastructure. China's wastewater treatment standards require secondary treatment for urban plants of this scale, with effluent quality meeting the Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002). It is expected to comply with national regulations for biological treatment and nutrient removal. The plant discharges treated wastewater into local rivers that eventually flow into the Yangtze River basin, a major ecological corridor supporting diverse aquatic life and providing water resources for downstream communities. Proper treatment helps protect water quality in this densely populated region.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent enters local watercourses within the Yangtze River basin, one of China's most important freshwater systems. The Yangtze River supports extensive biodiversity, including numerous fish species and migratory birds, and provides drinking water for millions. Effective wastewater treatment is critical to prevent eutrophication and maintain ecological health in this densely populated watershed.
