Overview
Fujian wastewater treatment plant serves Fu'an City in Fujian Province, China, with a population of 140,000. The plant has a designed capacity of 1.00 unit and operates under China's national wastewater regulations.
The Fujian wastewater treatment plant is located in Fu'an City, Ningde Prefecture, Fujian Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 140,000 people, classifying it as a medium-to-large agglomeration under Chinese wastewater management standards. The plant is situated in a region characterized by mountainous terrain and a subtropical monsoon climate, which influences local water resource management. As a facility serving over 100,000 people, the plant is expected to meet China's Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002), which mandates secondary treatment with nutrient removal for sensitive water bodies. The designed capacity is reported as 1. The treated effluent from the plant likely discharges into a local river system that eventually flows into the East China Sea. The downstream environment supports diverse aquatic life and is important for regional fisheries and agriculture. The plant plays a key role in protecting water quality in the Fujian coastal watershed, which is subject to rapid urbanization and industrial development.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into a river system within the Fujian coastal watershed, which drains into the East China Sea. This region supports diverse aquatic ecosystems, including estuarine habitats that serve as nurseries for fish and migratory birds. The downstream environment is ecologically sensitive due to intensive agriculture and urban runoff, making effective wastewater treatment critical for maintaining water quality and biodiversity.
