Overview
Anhui wastewater treatment plant serves Yingshang County in Anhui, China, with a population equivalent of 140,000. The facility operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards.
The Anhui wastewater treatment plant is located in Yingshang County, Fuyang City, Anhui Province, China. It serves a population equivalent of 140,000, classifying it as a medium-to-large agglomeration under Chinese wastewater management frameworks. The plant is situated in the Huai River basin, a major waterway in eastern China. As a facility serving over 100,000 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 sensitive water bodies. Typical plants of this scale employ activated sludge processes with biological nitrogen and phosphorus removal. The treated effluent likely discharges into local waterways that eventually flow into the Huai River, which drains into the Yellow Sea via the Yangtze River system. The Huai River basin supports intensive agriculture and urban areas, making proper wastewater treatment critical for controlling eutrophication and protecting downstream aquatic ecosystems.
Environmental context
The plant is located in the Huai River basin, a major agricultural and industrial region in eastern China. The Huai River flows eastward into Hongze Lake and then into the Yangtze River, ultimately reaching the Yellow Sea. The basin faces challenges from nutrient pollution and algal blooms, so effective wastewater treatment is essential for maintaining water quality and supporting biodiversity in downstream lakes and coastal waters.
Frequently asked questions
The Anhui wastewater treatment plant is located in Yingshang County, Fuyang City, Anhui Province, China, at coordinates 32.63°N, 116.28°E.
The plant serves a population equivalent of 140,000 people, classifying it as a medium-to-large agglomeration under Chinese wastewater management standards.
The plant discharges into local waterways within the Huai River basin. The Huai River flows through eastern China into Hongze Lake and eventually the Yangtze River, which empties into the Yellow Sea.
The plant operates under China's Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002). For a facility serving over 100,000 people, secondary treatment with nutrient removal is typically required to protect sensitive water bodies.
Plants of this scale in China commonly use activated sludge processes with biological nitrogen and phosphorus removal, such as anaerobic-anoxic-oxic (A2O) or sequencing batch reactors (SBR), to meet the GB 18918-2002 standards.
