Anhui wastewater treatment plant serves Huangshan City in Anhui Province, China, with a population equivalent of 100,000. It discharges treated effluent into local water bodies within the Xin'an River basin.
The Anhui wastewater treatment plant is located in Huangshan City, Anhui Province, China, serving a population equivalent of 100,000. The plant is situated in the Xin'an River watershed, which ultimately drains into the East China Sea. As a municipal facility, it plays a key role in managing wastewater from the urban area of Huangshan. The plant operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards, which require secondary treatment for urban wastewater treatment plants serving populations of this scale. The facility is expected to meet the Class 1A or 1B discharge standards under the Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002). The plant's treated effluent is discharged into the Xin'an River system, which flows through the region and supports local aquatic ecosystems. The Xin'an River eventually joins the Qiantang River and empties into Hangzhou Bay, part of the East China Sea. Proper treatment helps protect downstream water quality and biodiversity in this ecologically sensitive area.
