Overview
Guangxi wastewater treatment plant serves Lingyun County in Guangxi, China, with a population of 71,000. It operates under China's national wastewater regulations.
The Guangxi wastewater treatment plant is located in Lingyun County, Baise City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China. It serves a population of approximately 71,000 people, classifying it as a medium-sized municipal facility in the region. As a Chinese wastewater treatment plant, it is subject to the national Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002), which sets effluent limits based on receiving water sensitivity. For a plant of this scale, secondary treatment with nutrient removal is typically required to meet Class 1-A or 1-B standards, especially if discharging into sensitive water bodies. The plant's treated effluent likely discharges into a local river within the Pearl River basin, which ultimately flows into the South China Sea. The surrounding area is mountainous and ecologically sensitive, supporting diverse aquatic life and providing water resources for downstream communities.
Environmental context
The plant is located inland in Guangxi, a region characterized by karst topography and numerous rivers. Its treated wastewater likely enters a tributary of the Hongshui River, part of the larger Pearl River system, which drains into the South China Sea. The downstream environment supports important fisheries and biodiversity, making effective treatment crucial for protecting water quality and aquatic habitats.
