Overview
Guangdong wastewater treatment plant serves 220,000 people in Rongcheng District, Jieyang, Guangdong, China. It operates under China's national wastewater standards for urban agglomerations.
The Guangdong wastewater treatment plant is located in Rongcheng District, Jieyang City, Guangdong Province, China. It serves a population of 220,000, classifying it as a medium-to-large urban agglomeration under Chinese wastewater management frameworks. The plant is situated near the Rong River system, which flows into the South China Sea. As a facility serving over 200,000 people, the plant is expected to meet China's Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002). This standard mandates secondary treatment with nutrient removal for sensitive water bodies, with potential tertiary requirements for discharge into protected areas. The designed capacity is 1.00 (likely in 10,000 m³/d or similar units), indicating a substantial treatment volume. The plant's treated effluent likely discharges into the Rong River, a tributary of the Han River system, which ultimately reaches the South China Sea near Shantou. This coastal discharge zone supports diverse marine life and is important for local fisheries. The plant plays a critical role in protecting downstream water quality and the ecological health of the Pearl River Delta region.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Rong River, part of the Han River basin, which flows into the South China Sea. This coastal region supports mangrove ecosystems and serves as a nursery for commercial fish species. The area is ecologically sensitive due to high population density and industrial activity in Guangdong Province.
