Overview
Guangdong wastewater treatment plant serves 250,000 people in Heshan City, Guangdong Province, China. The facility operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards.
The Guangdong wastewater treatment plant is located in Shaping Subdistrict, Heshan City, within Jiangmen City, Guangdong Province, China. It serves a population of 250,000, classifying it as a large agglomeration under Chinese wastewater management frameworks. With a designed capacity of 1.00 (likely in cubic meters per day or similar unit), the plant is sized to handle the wastewater from its service area. China's national discharge standards (GB 18918-2002) require secondary treatment for municipal plants, with stricter limits for sensitive water bodies. The plant's treatment level is expected to meet these standards. The treated effluent is discharged into local waterways that eventually flow into the Pearl River Delta, a densely populated and ecologically significant region. The delta supports diverse aquatic life and is a critical migratory corridor for fish species. Proper treatment helps protect downstream water quality in the South China Sea.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Pearl River Delta watershed, which drains into the South China Sea. This delta is a vital ecological zone supporting fisheries and migratory birds. The region faces challenges from industrial and urban runoff, making effective wastewater treatment essential for maintaining water quality and aquatic habitat.
