Overview
Guangdong wastewater treatment plant serves 84,000 people in Shiliting Town, Shaoguan, Guangdong, China. It operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards.
The Guangdong wastewater treatment plant is located in Shiliting Town, Zhenjiang District, Shaoguan City, Guangdong Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 84,000 people, making it a medium-sized municipal facility in the region. As a Chinese wastewater treatment plant serving this population tier, it is expected to comply with the Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002), which sets limits for key pollutants. Facilities of this scale typically employ secondary biological treatment to meet regulatory requirements. The plant discharges treated effluent into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Pearl River system, which flows into the South China Sea. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and provides water for agricultural and industrial use downstream.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent flows into local streams that are part of the Bei River system, a tributary of the Pearl River. The Pearl River Delta is a densely populated and economically vital region, and its waters support fisheries, agriculture, and industry. Downstream, the Pearl River discharges into the South China Sea, an ecologically sensitive marine environment that sustains coral reefs and mangrove ecosystems.
