Overview
The Guangxi wastewater treatment plant serves Tianlin County in Guangxi, China, with a population equivalent of 60,000. It operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards.
The Guangxi wastewater treatment plant is located in Tianlin County, Baise City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China. It serves a population of approximately 60,000 people, classifying it as a medium-sized municipal facility within the region's wastewater infrastructure. As a plant in China, it operates under the national Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002), which sets effluent limits for conventional pollutants, nutrients, and pathogens. For a facility serving 60,000 people, secondary treatment with nutrient removal is typically required to meet Class 1-A or 1-B standards, depending on the receiving water's sensitivity. The plant's treated effluent is discharged into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Pearl River basin, which flows through southern China into the South China Sea. This watershed supports diverse aquatic ecosystems and provides water for agriculture and communities downstream.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Pearl River basin, which flows through Guangxi and Guangdong provinces before emptying into the South China Sea near Guangzhou. This watershed supports important fisheries and provides drinking water for millions of people. The downstream environment includes ecologically sensitive estuarine habitats that require careful management of nutrient and pollutant loads to prevent eutrophication and protect aquatic biodiversity.
