The Guangxi wastewater treatment plant is located in Pingle County, Guilin City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China. It serves a population of approximately 30,000 people, classifying it as a medium-sized municipal facility within the region's wastewater infrastructure. As a plant in China, it operates under the national Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002), which sets effluent limits for conventional pollutants and nutrients. For a facility serving 30,000 people, secondary treatment with nutrient removal is typically required to meet Class 1-A or 1-B standards, depending on the receiving water's sensitivity. The plant's treated effluent likely discharges into a local waterway within the Li River basin, which flows through Guilin's karst landscape and eventually into the Pearl River system. The Li River is a major tributary of the Xi Jiang, supporting diverse aquatic life and providing water for agriculture and tourism in the region.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into a tributary of the Li River, which flows through the Guilin karst region and joins the Gui Jiang before entering the Pearl River system. The Li River is ecologically sensitive due to its unique limestone geology and supports a variety of fish species. Downstream, the Pearl River Delta is a densely populated and economically vital estuary.
