Overview
Guangxi wastewater treatment plant serves Dongxing City in Guangxi, China, with a population of 163,000. The plant has a designed capacity of 1.00 and is located within 50 km of the coast.
The Guangxi wastewater treatment plant is located in Dongxing City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China. It serves a population of approximately 163,000 people, placing it in the category of a medium-to-large agglomeration under Chinese wastewater regulations. The plant's address is on Beilun Avenue in Nanshancun Village, Dongxing Town, within the Fangchenggang prefecture-level city. As a facility in China, the plant operates under national wastewater discharge standards, which typically require secondary treatment for urban wastewater. The designed capacity is 1. Chinese regulations for plants serving over 100,000 people often mandate advanced treatment to protect sensitive water bodies. The plant is situated within 50 km of the coast, indicating its discharge may eventually reach the South China Sea via local rivers or estuaries. The area's drainage likely flows into the Beilun River or nearby coastal waters. This proximity to the sea underscores the importance of effective treatment to prevent nutrient pollution and protect marine ecosystems.
Environmental context
The plant is located in Dongxing City, near the border with Vietnam, and its treated effluent likely discharges into the Beilun River system, which flows into the Beibu Gulf (Gulf of Tonkin) and ultimately the South China Sea. This coastal region supports diverse aquatic life, including mangrove forests and fisheries, making nutrient and pathogen control critical. The plant's proximity to the coast (within 50 km) means that insufficient treatment could contribute to eutrophication in the gulf.

The treated wastewater likely discharges into the Beilun River system, which flows into the Beibu Gulf and then the South China Sea. The plant is within 50 km of the coast.
The plant operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards, which mandate secondary treatment for urban wastewater. Plants serving over 100,000 people may require advanced treatment to protect sensitive coastal waters.
For agglomerations of this size, Chinese regulations typically require at least secondary biological treatment, and often tertiary treatment if the receiving water body is sensitive, such as coastal areas or rivers used for drinking water.
