Overview
The Guangdong wastewater treatment plant serves 70,000 people in Nanshan District, Shenzhen, China. It has a designed capacity of 1. 00 unit and is located within 50 km of the coast.
The Guangdong wastewater treatment plant is located in Nanshan District, Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 70,000 people, placing it in the medium agglomeration category. The plant is situated in a densely urbanized area near the coast. As a Chinese wastewater facility, the plant operates under national standards such as the Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002). For agglomerations of this size, secondary treatment with nutrient removal is typically required to meet Class 1A or 1B standards, especially in sensitive coastal areas. The designed capacity is 1. The plant discharges into the local water system, which ultimately flows into the Pearl River Delta and then the South China Sea. The coastal location means that treated effluent must meet stringent standards to protect marine ecosystems. The region supports diverse aquatic life and is an important area for fisheries and biodiversity.
Environmental context
The plant is located in the Pearl River Delta, one of China's most densely populated and industrialized regions. Its treated effluent flows into local waterways that drain into the Pearl River Estuary and then the South China Sea. The coastal marine environment supports diverse aquatic life, including fish and invertebrates, and is an important area for regional fisheries. Proper treatment is critical to prevent eutrophication and protect downstream ecosystems.
