Overview
Anhui wastewater treatment plant serves Huoshan County in Lu'an City, Anhui Province, China, with a population equivalent of 140,000. It operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards.
The Anhui wastewater treatment plant is located in Huoshan County, Lu'an City, Anhui Province, China, serving a population equivalent of 140,000. The facility is situated in the inland region of eastern China, contributing to the local municipal wastewater infrastructure. As a plant serving a medium-to-large agglomeration, it 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 plants of this scale. Typical facilities in this region employ biological treatment processes such as activated sludge or A2O. The treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies that eventually flow into the Huai River system, a major basin in eastern China. The Huai River drains into the Yellow Sea, supporting diverse aquatic life and providing water for agricultural and industrial use downstream.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Huai River basin, which flows through Anhui and Jiangsu provinces before reaching the Yellow Sea. The watershed supports important fisheries and irrigation systems. Downstream ecosystems are sensitive to nutrient loading, making effective treatment critical for maintaining water quality in the region.
