Overview
Guangxi wastewater treatment plant serves Bama Yao Autonomous County in Guangxi, China, with a population of 82,000. It operates under China's national wastewater regulations.
The Guangxi wastewater treatment plant is located in Bama Yao Autonomous County, Hechi City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China. It serves a population of approximately 82,000 people, making it a medium-sized municipal facility in the region. As a plant in China, it is subject to the national Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002), which sets effluent limits for various pollutants. For a facility serving this population size, secondary treatment with nutrient removal is typically required to meet Class 1-A or 1-B standards, depending on the receiving water body's sensitivity. The plant's treated effluent is discharged into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Pearl River basin, which flows into the South China Sea. The surrounding area is ecologically sensitive, supporting diverse aquatic life and serving as an important water resource for agriculture and communities downstream.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into local rivers that are part of the larger Pearl River basin, which flows through Guangxi and Guangdong before emptying into the South China Sea. This watershed supports diverse aquatic ecosystems and provides water for irrigation and drinking water downstream. The region's karst topography makes groundwater particularly vulnerable to contamination, emphasizing the need for effective wastewater treatment.
