Overview
Guangxi wastewater treatment plant serves Pingnan County, Guangxi, China, with a population of 250,000. It operates under China's national wastewater regulations.
The Guangxi wastewater treatment plant is located in Pingnan County, Guigang City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China. It serves a population of approximately 250,000, classifying it as a large-scale municipal facility within the region's wastewater infrastructure. As a plant of this scale in China, it is expected to comply with the national Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002), which mandates secondary treatment with nutrient removal for sensitive water bodies. Typical facilities serving this population size employ activated sludge processes with biological nutrient removal. The plant discharges treated effluent into local waterways that ultimately flow into the Pearl River Basin, a major river system in southern China. The Pearl River Delta downstream is an ecologically and economically vital region, supporting diverse aquatic life and providing water for agriculture and industry.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent enters local tributaries of the Pearl River system, which flows through Guangxi and Guangdong provinces before reaching the South China Sea. The Pearl River Basin supports a rich diversity of freshwater species and is an important migratory corridor for fish. Downstream, the Pearl River Delta is a densely populated and industrialized region where water quality management is critical for both human use and ecosystem health.
