Overview
Fujian wastewater treatment plant serves 35,000 people in Nanjing County, Fujian Province, China. It operates under China's national wastewater standards for urban agglomerations.
The Fujian wastewater treatment plant is located in Nanjing County, Fujian Province, China, serving a population of approximately 35,000. The facility is part of the municipal infrastructure for the county, which lies in the mountainous region of southern Fujian. As a plant serving a medium-sized 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 sensitive areas. Typical plants of this scale in China employ activated sludge processes with biological nutrient removal. The treated effluent is discharged into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Jiulong River basin, which flows into the Taiwan Strait. The downstream environment supports diverse aquatic life and is important for regional water resources and agriculture.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into tributaries of the Jiulong River system, which flows through southern Fujian and empties into the Taiwan Strait. This watershed supports important fisheries and agricultural irrigation. The region's subtropical monsoon climate means seasonal rainfall variations affect dilution capacity, making consistent treatment important for downstream water quality.
