Overview
Fujian wastewater treatment plant serves Shaowu City in Nanping, Fujian, China, with a population equivalent of 140,000. It operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards.
The Fujian wastewater treatment plant is located in Shaowu City, Nanping, Fujian Province, China, serving a population equivalent of 140,000. The facility is situated near the Dongguan Bridge in the Zhaoyang subdistrict, reflecting its role in municipal wastewater management for this inland urban area. As a plant serving a medium-to-large agglomeration, it is expected to comply with China's Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002), which mandates secondary treatment with nutrient removal for plants of this scale. The regulatory framework also requires monitoring of effluent quality parameters such as COD, BOD, ammonia nitrogen, and total phosphorus. The plant discharges treated wastewater into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Min River basin, a major tributary of the East China Sea. The receiving environment supports diverse aquatic life and is important for regional water resources, agriculture, and downstream ecosystems.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent flows into the Min River system, which drains into the East China Sea. The watershed supports fisheries and irrigation for the surrounding agricultural region. The plant's discharge contributes to the nutrient load in the river, making effective treatment critical for maintaining water quality and preventing eutrophication in downstream coastal areas.
