The Guangdong wastewater treatment plant is located in Jiaoling County, Meizhou City, Guangdong Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 51,200, classifying it as a medium-sized municipal facility in the region. China's wastewater treatment regulations, including the Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002), set effluent limits for facilities of this scale. The plant is expected to meet at least secondary treatment standards, with possible nutrient removal requirements depending on local environmental sensitivity. The treated effluent is discharged into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Han River system, which flows into the South China Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting downstream aquatic ecosystems and supporting water quality in the densely populated Pearl River Delta region.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Han River basin, which flows through eastern Guangdong into the South China Sea.
