Overview
Guangxi wastewater treatment plant serves 61,000 people in Laibin, Guangxi, China. It operates under China's national wastewater standards, discharging treated effluent into local waterways.
The Guangxi wastewater treatment plant is located in Xiangzhou County, Laibin City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China. It serves a population of approximately 61,000, 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 agglomerations of this scale, secondary treatment with nutrient removal is typically required to protect receiving waters. The plant discharges treated wastewater into local rivers that ultimately flow into the Pearl River basin, supporting downstream ecosystems and agricultural water use. Its operation contributes to reducing pollution loads in the region's surface waters.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into tributaries of the Pearl River system, which flows through southern China into the South China Sea. The local watershed supports diverse aquatic life and provides water for irrigation and domestic use. Protecting water quality is critical for maintaining ecological balance in this subtropical region.
