The Anhui wastewater treatment plant is located in Yushan District, Ma'anshan City, Anhui Province, China. It serves a population equivalent of 88,000, classifying it as a medium-sized municipal facility within the region's urban wastewater infrastructure. As a Chinese wastewater treatment plant, it operates under the national Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002), which sets effluent limits for conventional pollutants and nutrients. For a plant of this scale, secondary biological treatment with nutrient removal is typically required to meet Class 1A or 1B standards, depending on the receiving water body's sensitivity. The plant's treated effluent is discharged into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Yangtze River basin. The Yangtze River is China's largest river and a critical ecological and economic resource, supporting diverse aquatic life and providing water for millions downstream. Proper treatment at this facility helps protect water quality in the Yangtze system.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Yangtze River basin, which flows eastward through central China before entering the East China Sea near Shanghai. The Yangtze supports a rich diversity of fish species, including the endangered Chinese sturgeon, and is a vital migratory corridor for aquatic life. Effective wastewater treatment in the Ma'anshan area helps reduce nutrient and pollutant loads entering this ecologically significant river system.
