Overview
Guangdong wastewater treatment plant serves 260,000 people in Boluo County, Huizhou, Guangdong, China. It operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards.
The Guangdong wastewater treatment plant is located in Luoyang Subdistrict, Boluo County, Huizhou, Guangdong Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 260,000, placing it in the large agglomeration category under Chinese wastewater management frameworks. The facility is part of the municipal infrastructure for the region. Plants of this scale in China are typically required to meet the Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002). This standard mandates secondary treatment as a baseline, with more stringent requirements for plants discharging into sensitive water bodies. Its population served indicates a significant treatment capacity. The plant discharges into the local water system, which ultimately drains into the Dongjiang River, a major tributary of the Pearl River. The Pearl River Delta is a densely populated and economically vital region, and the plant plays a key role in protecting downstream water quality and aquatic ecosystems.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent flows into the Dongjiang River, which is a major tributary of the Pearl River system. The Pearl River Delta is a highly urbanized and industrialized region, and the Dongjiang River provides drinking water for millions of people. The plant helps reduce nutrient and pollutant loads, supporting the ecological health of the river and the downstream estuary, which is an important habitat for aquatic life.
