Overview
Fujian wastewater treatment plant serves Fuzhou, China, with a population of 120,000. It has a designed capacity of 1.00 cubic meters per day and operates under China's national wastewater standards.
The Fujian wastewater treatment plant is located in Fuzhou, the capital of Fujian Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 120,000 people, classifying it as a medium-to-large agglomeration under Chinese wastewater management frameworks. The facility is situated in the urban area of Cangshan District, near the Min River basin. The plant operates under China's Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002). For a facility serving 120,000 people, typical treatment includes secondary biological processes with nutrient removal, especially given China's increasing focus on water quality in the Yangtze River Delta region. The designed capacity is 1. The plant discharges into the Min River system, which flows through Fuzhou and ultimately into the East China Sea. This water body supports diverse aquatic life and is an important resource for local agriculture and fisheries. The plant's operation is critical for protecting downstream water quality in the Min River estuary and the Taiwan Strait ecosystem.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Min River, which flows through Fuzhou and empties into the East China Sea. The river supports a variety of fish species and is used for irrigation and drinking water downstream. The estuary is ecologically sensitive, providing habitat for migratory birds and marine life. Proper wastewater treatment is essential to prevent eutrophication and protect the coastal environment.
