Overview
Fujian wastewater treatment plant serves Liancheng County, Longyan City, Fujian Province, China. It handles a population equivalent of 50,000 and discharges treated effluent into local waterways.
The Fujian wastewater treatment plant is located in Liancheng County, Longyan City, in the mountainous inland region of Fujian Province, China. The facility serves a population of approximately 50,000 people, classifying it as a medium-sized municipal treatment plant under Chinese wastewater management standards. As a plant operating in China, it falls under the national Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002), which sets effluent limits based on the receiving water body's sensitivity. For inland plants like this one, the standard typically requires meeting Class 1-A or 1-B limits, which include biological oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, ammonia nitrogen, and total phosphorus targets. The plant's treated effluent is discharged into local rivers that are part of the Han River basin, eventually flowing into the Taiwan Strait. The surrounding region is characterized by hilly terrain and a subtropical monsoon climate, with agriculture and small industries contributing to the local economy. Proper treatment is essential to protect downstream water quality and aquatic ecosystems.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into tributaries of the Han River system, which flows through Fujian Province and empties into the Taiwan Strait. The downstream environment includes agricultural areas and small towns that rely on these waters for irrigation and domestic use. The region supports diverse freshwater species, and maintaining low nutrient levels is critical to prevent eutrophication in the river and coastal zone.
