Anhui Wastewater Treatment Plant, Fanchang District, Wuhu, Anhui Province

The Anhui wastewater treatment plant is located in Eshan Town, Fanchang District, Wuhu City, Anhui Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 86,000 people, placing it in the medium agglomeration category for Chinese municipal wastewater infrastructure. As a Chinese wastewater treatment facility, the plant operates under national standards such as the Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002). For a plant serving around 86,000 people, secondary treatment with nutrient removal is typically required to meet Class 1-A or 1-B effluent standards, depending on the receiving water body's sensitivity. The plant's treated effluent is discharged into local rivers and streams that ultimately flow into the Yangtze River, one of China's major water bodies. The Yangtze River basin supports diverse aquatic ecosystems and provides drinking water for millions. Proper treatment at this facility helps protect downstream water quality and ecological health.

The plant discharges into local waterways within the Yangtze River basin, which drains into the East China Sea. The Yangtze River supports a rich diversity of fish species and is an important migratory corridor for aquatic life. Downstream ecosystems include wetlands and lakes that rely on good water quality for ecological balance.
