Overview
Guangdong wastewater treatment plant serves Huizhou, China, with a population equivalent of 82,200. The facility operates under China's national wastewater standards, contributing to local water quality management.
The Guangdong wastewater treatment plant is located in Huizhou, Guangdong Province, China, serving a population equivalent of 82,200. Situated in the Huicheng District, the plant is part of the municipal infrastructure for the city of Huizhou, which lies in the Pearl River Delta region. As a medium-sized agglomeration, the plant is expected to meet secondary treatment standards under China's Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002). This regulation sets limits for key pollutants such as COD, BOD, and ammonia nitrogen, ensuring treated effluent is safe for discharge into receiving waters. The plant's treated effluent likely discharges into local rivers that flow into the Pearl River system, eventually reaching the South China Sea. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and provides water for agriculture and industry downstream. Proper treatment is essential to protect the ecological health of the region's waterways.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Pearl River basin, which drains into the South China Sea. This watershed supports diverse aquatic ecosystems and is an important migratory corridor for fish species. The region's subtropical climate and dense population place high demands on water quality management to prevent eutrophication and protect downstream coastal habitats.
