Overview
Anhui wastewater treatment plant serves 326,500 people in Huashan District, Ma'anshan, Anhui Province, China. It operates under China's national wastewater standards for large agglomerations.
The Anhui wastewater treatment plant is located in Huashan District, Ma'anshan, Anhui Province, China. It serves a population of 326,500, classifying it as a large agglomeration under Chinese wastewater management frameworks. The facility is situated in an industrial and urban area near the Yangtze River basin. As a large-scale plant in China, it is expected to meet the Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002), which typically requires secondary treatment with nutrient removal for plants serving over 100,000 people. The regulatory framework ensures compliance with national effluent limits. The plant discharges into the local water system, which ultimately drains into the Yangtze River, one of China's most important waterways. The Yangtze River supports diverse aquatic life and provides water for millions downstream. Proper treatment is critical to protect this vital ecosystem from nutrient pollution and industrial contaminants.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent flows into local waterways that feed into the Yangtze River, which empties into the East China Sea. The Yangtze basin is ecologically sensitive, supporting numerous fish species and serving as a migratory corridor for aquatic life. Nutrient loading from urban wastewater can contribute to algal blooms in downstream lakes and coastal zones, making advanced treatment important for this large agglomeration.
