Overview
The Fujian wastewater treatment plant serves Longyan City in Fujian Province, China, with a population of 112,000. It operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards.
The Fujian wastewater treatment plant is located in Longyan City, Fujian Province, China, serving a population of approximately 112,000. The facility is part of the municipal wastewater infrastructure for the region, which includes Changting County and the surrounding urban area. As a plant serving over 100,000 people, it falls under China's Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002), which mandates secondary treatment with nutrient removal for large-scale facilities. The plant's design and operation are subject to national environmental protection laws and local regulations. The treated effluent is discharged into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Ting River basin, a tributary of the Han River system. This river network flows through Fujian Province and contributes to the ecological health of the region's freshwater and coastal environments.
Environmental context
The plant's discharge enters the Ting River, a tributary of the Han River, which flows through Fujian Province and eventually reaches the Taiwan Strait. The watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is important for local fisheries and agriculture. Proper treatment is critical to prevent nutrient pollution and protect downstream water quality.
