Overview
Guangxi wastewater treatment plant serves Guiping City, Guangxi, China, with a population of 163,000. It operates under China's national wastewater standards, discharging treated effluent into the local watershed.
The Guangxi wastewater treatment plant is located in Guiping City, within the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region of China. It serves a population of approximately 163,000, classifying it as a medium-to-large agglomeration under Chinese municipal wastewater management. The plant is situated in the inland region of Guangxi, away from the coast, and its operations are integral to the local sanitation infrastructure. As a facility serving over 100,000 people, the plant is expected to meet China's Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002), which mandates secondary treatment with nutrient removal for such scales. The regulatory framework ensures that the plant provides at least secondary treatment to protect receiving water bodies. The plant discharges into the local river system, which ultimately drains into the Pearl River Basin, one of China's major river systems. This basin supports diverse aquatic ecosystems and provides water for agriculture and industry downstream. The plant's operation helps mitigate pollution in the region, contributing to the health of the Pearl River Delta and the South China Sea.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the local river network, which flows into the Pearl River Basin, a major water system in southern China. The basin supports a variety of aquatic life and is an important resource for irrigation and drinking water. Downstream, the river reaches the Pearl River Delta, an ecologically sensitive estuary that provides habitat for migratory fish and birds. The plant's treatment helps reduce nutrient and pollutant loads, protecting downstream water quality and biodiversity.
