Overview
Guangxi wastewater treatment plant serves Baise City, Guangxi, China, with a population of 320,000. It operates under China's national wastewater standards.
The Guangxi wastewater treatment plant is located in Baise City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China. It serves a population of approximately 320,000, classifying it as a large-scale municipal facility under Chinese regulations. The plant is situated in the Youjiang District, along Longwang Avenue, and plays a key role in managing urban wastewater for this growing city. China's wastewater treatment standards, governed by the Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002), require secondary treatment as a baseline for facilities of this scale. For larger agglomerations, advanced treatment may be mandated to protect sensitive water bodies. The plant's design and operational practices align with these national requirements, ensuring compliance with effluent quality standards. The treated effluent is discharged into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Pearl River basin, a major river system in southern China. This river supports diverse aquatic life and provides water for agriculture and industry downstream. The plant's operations contribute to protecting the ecological health of the region's rivers and the South China Sea coastal zone.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Youjiang River, a tributary of the Pearl River system, which flows through Guangxi and Guangdong provinces before reaching the South China Sea. The Pearl River basin is ecologically significant, supporting diverse fish species and providing critical habitat for migratory birds. The plant's treatment helps reduce nutrient and pollutant loads, protecting downstream water quality and marine ecosystems.
