Overview
Guangxi wastewater treatment plant serves Nanning, Guangxi, China, with a population of 343,000. The facility operates under China's national wastewater standards.
The Guangxi wastewater treatment plant is located in Nanning, the capital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China. It serves a population of approximately 343,000 people in the Jiangnan district, addressing the wastewater needs of a significant urban agglomeration. As a large-scale facility, it is expected to comply with China's Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002), which sets stringent limits for effluent quality. For plants serving over 100,000 people, advanced treatment with nutrient removal is typically required to protect receiving waters. The treated effluent is discharged into local waterways that eventually flow into the Pearl River system, which drains into the South China Sea. This downstream connection underscores the plant's role in safeguarding both regional water quality and the marine environment.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Yong River, a tributary of the Pearl River system, which flows through Guangxi and Guangdong before emptying into the South China Sea. The Pearl River Delta is a densely populated and ecologically sensitive region, supporting diverse aquatic life and important fisheries. Effective treatment at this plant helps reduce nutrient and pollutant loads that could otherwise contribute to eutrophication and habitat degradation in downstream waters.
