Overview
Anhui wastewater treatment plant serves 220,000 people in Ningguo, Xuancheng, Anhui, China. It operates under China's national wastewater standards for large agglomerations.
The Anhui wastewater treatment plant is located in Ningguo City, Xuancheng, Anhui Province, China, serving a population of approximately 220,000. As a large-scale municipal facility, it plays a key role in managing wastewater from the urban area. The plant operates under China's national discharge standards, which require secondary treatment for urban wastewater plants serving populations over 100,000. The facility is expected to meet Class 1A or 1B standards under the Chinese Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002). The plant discharges treated effluent into local water bodies that eventually flow into the Yangtze River basin. The receiving waters support regional agriculture and aquatic ecosystems, making proper treatment essential for downstream water quality and ecological health.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent enters local waterways within the Yangtze River basin, one of China's most important river systems. The Yangtze River supports diverse aquatic life and provides water for millions of people. Proper treatment is critical to prevent nutrient pollution and protect downstream ecosystems, including lakes and wetlands that depend on good water quality.
