Overview
Guangdong wastewater treatment plant serves Nanhai District, Foshan, Guangdong, China, with a population equivalent of 110,000. It operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards.
The Guangdong wastewater treatment plant is located in Huma Village, Dali Town, Nanhai District, Foshan City, Guangdong Province, China. It serves a population equivalent of 110,000, classifying it as a medium-to-large agglomeration under Chinese municipal wastewater management. The plant is situated in the Pearl River Delta, a densely populated and industrially active region. China's wastewater treatment regulations, including the Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002), mandate secondary treatment with nutrient removal for plants of this scale. The designed capacity is 1.00 (likely in 10,000 m³/d or similar units), indicating a facility capable of handling significant flows. Typical plants in this region employ activated sludge processes with biological nutrient removal. The plant discharges treated effluent into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Pearl River system, which flows into the South China Sea. The Pearl River Delta is an ecologically sensitive area supporting diverse aquatic life and important fisheries. Proper treatment is critical to protect downstream water quality and the marine environment.
Environmental context
The plant is located in the Pearl River Delta, a major river system that drains into the South China Sea. The receiving water bodies are part of the Pearl River network, which supports a rich ecosystem including migratory fish and wetland habitats. The delta is densely populated and heavily industrialized, making wastewater treatment essential to prevent eutrophication and protect coastal marine life.
