Overview
Anhui wastewater treatment plant serves Jieshou City in Anhui Province, China, with a population equivalent of 200,000. The facility operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards.
The Anhui wastewater treatment plant is located in Dongcheng Subdistrict, Jieshou City, within Fuyang City, Anhui Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 200,000, classifying it as a medium-to-large agglomeration under Chinese wastewater management frameworks. As a municipal facility in China, the plant is subject to the Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002), which sets effluent limits for conventional pollutants and nutrients. For plants serving populations of this scale, secondary treatment with nutrient removal is typically required, especially in regions with sensitive receiving waters. The plant's treated effluent is discharged into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Huai River basin, a major tributary of the Yangtze River system. The Huai River supports extensive agricultural irrigation and aquatic ecosystems, making effective wastewater treatment critical for downstream water quality and ecological health.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Huai River basin, which flows eastward through Anhui and Jiangsu provinces before emptying into the Yangtze River near the East China Sea. The Huai River is a vital water source for agriculture and supports diverse aquatic life, including several fish species. Downstream areas include floodplains and wetlands that provide important habitat for migratory birds. Effective treatment helps reduce nutrient loading and protect these ecosystems from eutrophication.
Frequently asked questions
The plant is located in Dongcheng Subdistrict, Jieshou City, Fuyang City, Anhui Province, China.
The plant serves a population equivalent of approximately 200,000 people.
Treated effluent is discharged into local waterways within the Huai River basin, which ultimately flows into the Yangtze River and the East China Sea.
The plant must comply with China's GB 18918-2002 discharge standard, which sets limits on pollutants such as COD, BOD, ammonia nitrogen, and phosphorus. Plants serving over 100,000 people typically require secondary treatment with nutrient removal.
For agglomerations of this size, Chinese regulations generally mandate secondary biological treatment with nutrient removal to meet Class 1A or 1B effluent standards, depending on the receiving water body's sensitivity.
