Overview
Fujian wastewater treatment plant serves Minhou County, Fujian, China, with a population equivalent of 110,000. The facility has a designed capacity of 1.00 (units unspecified) and operates under China's national wastewater regulations.
The Fujian wastewater treatment plant is located in Minhou County, Fujian Province, China, serving a population equivalent of 110,000. This facility is part of the municipal wastewater infrastructure for the region, which includes the capital city of Fuzhou and surrounding areas. The plant's designed capacity is 1. As a plant serving a medium-sized agglomeration, it is expected to comply with China's Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002), which sets effluent limits for conventional pollutants and nutrients. Treatment processes typically include primary sedimentation, biological treatment (such as activated sludge), and disinfection, with possible nutrient removal for sensitive water bodies. The plant discharges treated effluent into local waterways that ultimately drain into the East China Sea. The receiving environment supports diverse aquatic life and is important for regional water quality. The facility plays a key role in protecting downstream ecosystems and public health in the Min River basin.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent flows into the Min River system, which drains into the East China Sea near Fuzhou. This coastal region supports important fisheries and migratory bird habitats. The watershed is influenced by seasonal monsoon rains and urban runoff, making effective nutrient removal critical to prevent eutrophication in the estuary and coastal waters.
