Overview
Fujian wastewater treatment plant serves Zhangzhou, Fujian, China, with a designed capacity of 1.00 and a population of 83,000. It operates under China's national wastewater standards.
The Fujian wastewater treatment plant is located in Zhangzhou, Fujian Province, China, serving a population of approximately 83,000. The plant is situated in the Xiangcheng District of Zhangzhou, an urban area within the broader Fujian region. As a municipal facility, it plays a key role in managing wastewater from the local community. The plant has a designed capacity of 1. Under China's national wastewater discharge standards (GB 18918-2002), plants serving populations of this scale are typically required to meet Class 1A or 1B effluent limits, which include biological treatment and nutrient removal. The regulatory framework ensures that treated water meets environmental protection requirements before discharge. The plant's treated effluent likely discharges into local water bodies that drain into the Jiulong River or other nearby systems, eventually reaching the Taiwan Strait. The downstream environment supports diverse aquatic life and is important for regional fisheries and coastal ecosystems. Proper treatment helps protect these waters from nutrient pollution and other contaminants.
Environmental context
The plant is located inland in Fujian Province, with its treated effluent likely flowing into the Jiulong River basin, which drains into the Taiwan Strait. This coastal region supports important fisheries and marine biodiversity. Effective wastewater treatment is crucial to prevent eutrophication and protect downstream aquatic habitats, including estuarine and nearshore ecosystems.
