Overview
Gansu wastewater treatment plant serves Liuhu Town in Pingliang, Gansu Province, China. It treats wastewater for approximately 128,800 people as part of the region's municipal infrastructure.
The Gansu wastewater treatment plant is located in Liuhu Town, within the Kongtong District of Pingliang City, Gansu Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 128,800 people, placing it in the medium-to-large agglomeration category under Chinese wastewater regulations. The plant is situated inland, away from coastal areas, and its operations are integral to the local water management system. China's wastewater treatment standards are governed by the national Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002), which sets effluent limits based on the receiving water body's sensitivity. For plants serving populations of this scale, secondary treatment with nutrient removal is typically required to protect water quality. It is expected to meet these national standards. The treated effluent from this plant is discharged into local water bodies that ultimately flow into the Yellow River basin, a major river system in northern China. The Yellow River and its tributaries support agriculture, industry, and ecosystems across multiple provinces. Proper treatment at this plant helps reduce pollution loads and protects downstream water quality, which is critical for both human use and aquatic life in the region.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the local watershed, which is part of the larger Yellow River basin. The Yellow River is the second-longest river in China and flows through arid and semi-arid regions, making water quality management crucial. Downstream ecosystems include wetlands and agricultural areas that depend on clean water. The plant's operations help mitigate nutrient and pollutant loads, supporting the ecological health of the river system and its tributaries.
