Overview
Anhui wastewater treatment plant serves Fuyang, Anhui, China, with a population equivalent of 300,000. The facility discharges into local waterways under China's national wastewater standards.
The Anhui wastewater treatment plant is located in Fuyang, Anhui Province, China, serving a population of approximately 300,000. It is situated in the urban area of Fuyang, a city in the northern part of Anhui. The plant is part of China's extensive municipal wastewater infrastructure, which has expanded rapidly to meet the needs of growing urban populations. As a large-scale facility serving over 150,000 people, the plant is expected to meet China's Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002), which mandates secondary treatment with nutrient removal for such agglomerations. The plant likely employs biological treatment processes, such as activated sludge, to achieve the required effluent quality before discharge. The treated effluent is discharged into local rivers that eventually flow into the Huai River basin, a major water system in eastern China. The Huai River is ecologically significant, supporting diverse aquatic life and providing water for agriculture and industry. Proper treatment at this plant helps protect downstream water quality and reduce pollution in the Huai River and its tributaries.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into local waterways within the Huai River basin, which drains into the Yellow Sea via the Huai River and its tributaries. The Huai River is a critical water source for the region, supporting agriculture, fisheries, and ecosystems. Effective wastewater treatment is essential to prevent eutrophication and protect aquatic habitats in this densely populated and agriculturally intensive area.
