Overview
Fujian wastewater treatment plant serves Wuping County in Fujian Province, China, with a population of 100,000. The plant operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards.
The Fujian wastewater treatment plant is located in Wuping County, Longyan City, Fujian Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 100,000, placing it in the medium-to-large agglomeration category for Chinese municipal wastewater infrastructure. China's wastewater treatment regulations, including the Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002), mandate secondary treatment as a baseline for plants of this scale. Typical facilities in this region employ activated sludge or similar biological treatment methods to meet Class 1A or 1B discharge standards. The plant discharges treated effluent into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Ting River basin, a tributary of the Han River system, which flows into the South China Sea. The surrounding watershed supports agricultural and ecological functions, making proper treatment essential for protecting downstream water quality and aquatic habitats.
Environmental context
The plant's effluent enters the Ting River basin, part of the larger Han River system that flows into the South China Sea. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is used for irrigation and fishing. Effective treatment is critical to prevent nutrient loading and maintain ecological balance in downstream estuaries and coastal waters.
