Overview
Anhui wastewater treatment plant serves Xuan City, Anhui, China, with a population equivalent of 100,000. The facility operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards.
The Anhui wastewater treatment plant is located in Jianping Town, Langxi County, Xuan City, Anhui Province, China. It serves a population equivalent of 100,000, classifying it as a medium-to-large agglomeration under Chinese wastewater management frameworks. As a plant of this scale in China, it is expected to meet the Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002), which mandates secondary treatment with nutrient removal for sensitive water bodies. Typical configurations for similar facilities include activated sludge processes with biological nitrogen and phosphorus removal. The treated effluent likely discharges into local waterways within the Yangtze River basin, which ultimately flows into the East China Sea. The plant plays a critical role in protecting downstream aquatic ecosystems and supporting water quality in the region's dense network of rivers and lakes.
Environmental context
The plant is situated in the Yangtze River basin, one of China's most ecologically and economically significant watersheds. The receiving water body, likely a tributary of the Yangtze, eventually drains into the East China Sea. This region supports diverse aquatic life and is important for migratory fish species. Proper treatment is essential to prevent eutrophication and maintain water quality in downstream lakes and coastal areas.
Frequently asked questions
The plant is located in Jianping Town, Langxi County, Xuan City, Anhui Province, China.
The plant serves a population equivalent of 100,000 people.
In China, municipal wastewater treatment plants must comply with the Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002), which sets limits for pollutants like COD, BOD, ammonia, and phosphorus. Plants in sensitive areas often require tertiary treatment.
The plant likely discharges into a local waterway within the Yangtze River basin, which flows into the East China Sea.
For a plant of this scale in China, secondary treatment with nutrient removal is standard, often using activated sludge processes. In environmentally sensitive areas, advanced treatment may be required.
