Overview
Fujian wastewater treatment plant serves 220,000 people in Fengze District, Quanzhou, Fujian, China. It operates under China's national wastewater standards, discharging treated effluent into local waterways.
The Fujian wastewater treatment plant is located in Fengze District, Quanzhou, Fujian Province, China, serving a population of approximately 220,000. The facility is part of the municipal wastewater infrastructure for the Quanzhou metropolitan area, addressing the needs of a densely populated urban region. The plant operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards, which mandate secondary treatment for urban agglomerations of this scale. The designed capacity is 1.00 (likely in cubic meters per day or similar unit), indicating a facility sized to handle the wastewater load from the served population. The plant's treated effluent is discharged into local rivers that ultimately flow into the Taiwan Strait, part of the East China Sea. This coastal discharge location requires compliance with stringent effluent quality standards to protect marine ecosystems and coastal water quality in the region.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Jin River or nearby tributaries, which flow into Quanzhou Bay and then the Taiwan Strait. This coastal watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is important for local fisheries. The proximity to the coast (within 50 km) means that nutrient and pollutant loads from the plant can affect marine water quality and nearshore habitats, necessitating effective treatment to prevent eutrophication.
