Overview
Guangxi wastewater treatment plant serves Laibin City, Guangxi, China, with a population equivalent of 320,000. It operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards.
The Guangxi wastewater treatment plant is located in Laibin City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China. It serves a population of approximately 320,000, classifying it as a large-scale municipal facility within the region's urban wastewater infrastructure. As a plant of this scale in China, it is subject to the Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002), which mandates secondary treatment with nutrient removal for sensitive areas. Typical facilities serving this population employ activated sludge processes with biological nutrient removal. The plant discharges treated effluent into local water bodies that ultimately flow into the Pearl River basin, which drains into the South China Sea. The receiving environment supports diverse aquatic life and is important for regional water quality management, particularly given the industrial and agricultural activities in Guangxi.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent enters local waterways within the Pearl River basin, which flows through southern China before reaching the South China Sea. This watershed supports diverse aquatic ecosystems and is a critical resource for irrigation, fisheries, and drinking water. The region's subtropical climate and intensive agriculture increase the importance of effective nutrient removal to prevent eutrophication downstream.
