Overview
Guangdong wastewater treatment plant serves Xiongzhou Street, Nanxiong City, Guangdong, China, with a population of 95,200. It operates under China's national wastewater standards.
The Guangdong wastewater treatment plant is located in Xiongzhou Street, Nanxiong City, in the northern part of Guangdong Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 95,200, classifying it as a medium-to-large agglomeration under Chinese municipal wastewater management. As a plant in China, it operates under the national Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002), which sets effluent limits for conventional pollutants and nutrients. For a facility of this scale, secondary treatment with nutrient removal is typically required, especially if discharging into sensitive water bodies. The plant's treated effluent likely discharges into a local river within the Bei River system, which flows southward into the Pearl River Delta and eventually the South China Sea. This region supports diverse aquatic life and is important for downstream water quality in the densely populated Pearl River basin.
Environmental context
The plant is located inland in northern Guangdong, within the Bei River watershed. The Bei River flows south to join the Pearl River, which empties into the South China Sea. The downstream environment includes ecologically sensitive areas such as wetlands and estuaries that support migratory birds and fisheries. Proper treatment is essential to prevent nutrient pollution and protect these habitats.
