Overview
Guangxi wastewater treatment plant serves Liubei District, Liuzhou, Guangxi, China, with a population of 650,000. It operates under China's national wastewater standards.
The Guangxi wastewater treatment plant is located in Liubei District, Liuzhou, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China. It serves a population of approximately 650,000, classifying it as a large-scale municipal facility within the region's urban wastewater infrastructure. As a major treatment 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 conventional pollutants, nutrients, and pathogens. For plants serving over 500,000 people, advanced treatment with nutrient removal is typically required to meet Class 1A standards, especially in sensitive water bodies. The plant's treated effluent is discharged into the local water system, which ultimately flows into the Liu River, a tributary of the Pearl River basin. The Pearl River Delta is a densely populated and ecologically important region, supporting diverse aquatic life and providing water for agriculture, industry, and domestic use downstream.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Liu River, part of the larger Pearl River basin, which drains into the South China Sea. The downstream environment includes the Pearl River Delta, a critical habitat for migratory fish and waterbirds. Nutrient pollution from urban runoff and treated effluent can contribute to eutrophication in coastal waters, making advanced treatment important for protecting marine ecosystems.
