Overview
The Guangxi wastewater treatment plant serves Tianyang District in Baise City, Guangxi, China, with a population of 140,000. It operates under China's national wastewater regulations.
The Guangxi wastewater treatment plant is located in Tianyang District, Baise City, in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region of southern China. It serves an estimated population of 140,000 people, placing it in the medium-to-large agglomeration category for Chinese municipal wastewater infrastructure. As a plant of this scale in China, it is expected to meet the discharge standards set by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, which typically require secondary biological treatment or higher for urban wastewater. Chinese regulations mandate compliance with the Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002), which sets limits on COD, BOD, ammonia nitrogen, and other pollutants. The plant discharges treated effluent into a local water body that ultimately drains into the Pearl River basin, one of China's major river systems. The Pearl River flows through Guangxi and Guangdong before reaching the South China Sea, supporting diverse aquatic ecosystems and providing water for agriculture and industry downstream.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent enters a tributary of the Pearl River system, which flows through karst landscapes in Guangxi and supports rich biodiversity, including endemic fish species. The Pearl River basin is a critical water resource for southern China, supplying drinking water and irrigation to millions of people. Downstream, the river discharges into the South China Sea near the Pearl River Delta, a densely populated and ecologically sensitive coastal zone.
