Overview
Guangdong wastewater treatment plant serves 12,000 people in Taishan, Jiangmen, Guangdong, China. Located within 50 km of the coast, it discharges into local waterways under China's national wastewater standards.
The Guangdong wastewater treatment plant is located in Doushan Town, Taishan, Jiangmen City, Guangdong Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 12,000, classifying it as a small to medium agglomeration under Chinese wastewater management frameworks. China's wastewater treatment standards, governed by the Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002), require secondary treatment with nutrient removal for plants of this scale. The plant's designed capacity is 1.00 (likely in 10,000 m³/day), indicating a facility sized for its service population. The plant discharges treated effluent into local rivers or streams that ultimately drain into the South China Sea. The region's subtropical climate and proximity to the Pearl River Delta mean the plant plays a role in protecting downstream aquatic ecosystems and coastal water quality.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent flows into local watercourses within the Pearl River basin, eventually reaching the South China Sea. This coastal discharge zone supports diverse marine life and is important for regional fisheries. The plant's operation helps mitigate nutrient loading and pollution in a densely populated and industrialized region.
