Overview
Guangxi wastewater treatment plant serves Laibin City, Guangxi, China, with a population equivalent of 50,000. It operates under China's national wastewater standards.
The Guangxi wastewater treatment plant is located in Xincheng County, Laibin City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China. It serves a population equivalent of approximately 50,000 people, classifying it as a medium-sized municipal facility within the region's wastewater infrastructure. As a Chinese wastewater treatment plant, it operates under the national Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002), which sets effluent limits based on receiving water sensitivity. For plants serving populations around 50,000, secondary treatment with nutrient removal is typically required to meet Class 1-A or 1-B standards, depending on the environmental sensitivity of the receiving water body. The plant's treated effluent is discharged into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Pearl River basin, one of China's major river systems. The Pearl River flows through southern China and empties into the South China Sea, supporting diverse aquatic ecosystems and providing water for agriculture, industry, and domestic use downstream.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into tributaries of the Pearl River system, which flows through Guangxi and Guangdong provinces before reaching the South China Sea. The Pearl River basin supports critical wetland habitats and is an important migratory corridor for fish species. Downstream waters are used for irrigation and drinking water supply, making effluent quality essential for both ecological and human health.
