Overview
Guangdong wastewater treatment plant serves Pingshan District, Shenzhen, China, with a designed capacity of 1.00 and a population served of 310,000. The plant discharges into local water bodies under China's national wastewater regulations.
The Guangdong wastewater treatment plant is located in Pingshan District, Shenzhen, within Guangdong Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 310,000, making it a significant municipal facility in the region. The plant's designed capacity is 1.00, indicating its scale in treating urban wastewater. Under China's national wastewater discharge standards (GB 18918-2002), plants of this size are required to meet stringent effluent limits, typically involving secondary or advanced treatment processes. The plant operates within the regulatory framework of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, which mandates regular monitoring and compliance with pollutant discharge permits. The treated effluent is discharged into local waterways that eventually drain into the Pearl River Delta and the South China Sea. This region is ecologically sensitive, supporting diverse aquatic life and serving as a critical migratory corridor for fish and birds. The plant's operation helps protect downstream water quality and marine ecosystems.
Environmental context
The plant's treated wastewater flows into the local river network within the Pearl River Basin, ultimately reaching the Pearl River Delta and the South China Sea. This coastal region supports important fisheries and mangrove habitats, making effective wastewater treatment essential for maintaining water quality and biodiversity. The plant's discharge contributes to the overall health of the delta ecosystem.
