Overview
Fujian wastewater treatment plant serves 510,000 people in Longwen District, Zhangzhou, Fujian, China. It operates under China's national wastewater standards for large agglomerations.
The Fujian wastewater treatment plant is located in Longwen District, Zhangzhou, Fujian Province, China. It serves a population of 510,000, classifying it as a large-scale municipal facility under China's urban wastewater treatment regulations. The plant is situated in the coastal province of Fujian, an area with significant industrial and urban development. As a large agglomeration serving over 500,000 people, the plant is expected to meet China's Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002), which mandates advanced treatment with nutrient removal for plants in sensitive areas. The designed capacity is 1.00 (likely in million cubic meters per day or similar unit), indicating substantial infrastructure to handle the region's wastewater load. The plant's treated effluent likely discharges into local waterways that flow into the Jiulong River or directly into the Taiwan Strait, given its proximity to the coast. This discharge supports downstream aquatic ecosystems and agricultural water use, but also requires careful management to prevent eutrophication in coastal waters. The plant plays a key role in protecting the health of the Fujian coastal environment.
Environmental context
The plant is located in the Jiulong River basin, which drains into the Taiwan Strait. The downstream environment includes estuarine and coastal habitats that support diverse marine life, including fisheries and migratory species. Nutrient loading from wastewater can contribute to algal blooms in the strait, making advanced treatment crucial for maintaining water quality in this ecologically sensitive coastal zone.
