Overview
Guangxi wastewater treatment plant serves Gangbei District, Guigang, Guangxi, China, with a population of 100,000. It operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards.
The Guangxi wastewater treatment plant is located in Gangbei District, Guigang, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China. It serves a population of approximately 100,000 people, classifying it as a medium-sized municipal facility within the region's urban wastewater infrastructure. Under China's national wastewater discharge standards (GB 18918-2002), plants serving populations of this scale are typically required to achieve at least secondary treatment to meet effluent quality standards. It is expected to comply with local environmental regulations set by the Guangxi Department of Ecology and Environment. The plant discharges treated wastewater into the local water system, which ultimately drains into the Xi River system, a major tributary of the Pearl River. The Pearl River basin supports diverse aquatic ecosystems and provides water for agriculture, industry, and domestic use downstream. Proper treatment is essential to protect water quality in this densely populated and economically active region.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent flows into the Xi River system, part of the larger Pearl River basin, which drains into the South China Sea. The Pearl River estuary supports important fisheries and migratory bird habitats. Downstream water quality is critical for both ecological health and human use, including drinking water supply for cities like Guangzhou and Hong Kong.
