Overview
Fujian wastewater treatment plant serves 76,400 people in Longhai District, Zhangzhou, Fujian, China. It is located within 50 km of the coast and discharges into local waterways.
The Fujian wastewater treatment plant is located in Longhai District, Zhangzhou, Fujian Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 76,400 people, placing it in the medium agglomeration category. The plant is situated near the coast, within 50 km of the sea, and its operations are part of the regional wastewater infrastructure managed under Chinese environmental regulations. However, under China's national wastewater discharge standards (GB 18918-2002), plants serving populations of this scale are typically required to achieve secondary treatment or higher, with nutrient removal in sensitive areas. The designed capacity is reported as 1.00 (likely in 10,000 m³/d or similar units), indicating a moderate-scale facility. The plant's treated effluent is discharged into local rivers or streams that eventually flow into the Taiwan Strait. The receiving water bodies support diverse aquatic life and are important for regional fisheries and coastal ecosystems. The plant plays a key role in protecting downstream water quality and reducing pollution loads to the marine environment.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into local waterways that drain into the Taiwan Strait, a marginal sea of the Pacific Ocean. The coastal waters support important fisheries and migratory species. Effective treatment is essential to prevent eutrophication and protect marine biodiversity in this ecologically sensitive region.
