Overview
Anhui wastewater treatment plant serves Yingdong District, Fuyang, Anhui, China, with a population of 160,000. It operates under China's national wastewater standards.
The Anhui wastewater treatment plant is located in Yingdong District, Fuyang City, Anhui Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 160,000, classifying it as a medium-to-large agglomeration under Chinese municipal wastewater management. China's wastewater treatment regulations require secondary treatment for urban plants serving populations over 100,000. The plant is expected to meet national discharge standards (GB 18918-2002) for pollutants, which include limits on COD, BOD, ammonia nitrogen, and total phosphorus. The plant discharges treated effluent into the local water system, which ultimately drains into the Huai River basin. The Huai River is a major waterway in eastern China, flowing into the Yangtze River and supporting agricultural and industrial activities. Proper treatment is critical to protect downstream water quality and aquatic ecosystems.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent enters the local drainage network, which flows into the Huai River basin. The Huai River is a key tributary of the Yangtze River, supporting diverse aquatic life and providing water for irrigation and industry. Downstream areas include ecologically sensitive wetlands and lakes that depend on good water quality. Effective nutrient removal helps prevent eutrophication in these receiving waters.
