Overview
Guangxi wastewater treatment plant serves Changzhou District, Wuzhou, Guangxi, China, with a population equivalent of 103,000. The plant operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards.
The Guangxi wastewater treatment plant is located on Changzhou Island in Changzhou District, Wuzhou, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China. It serves a population equivalent of approximately 103,000, classifying it as a medium-to-large agglomeration under Chinese municipal wastewater management frameworks. As a facility in China, the plant is subject to the 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 100,000 people, advanced treatment with nutrient removal is typically required to meet Class 1A standards, especially in sensitive watersheds. The plant discharges treated effluent into the local water system within the Xijiang River basin, which flows into the Pearl River Delta and ultimately the South China Sea. The surrounding region is ecologically significant, supporting diverse aquatic life and providing water resources for agriculture and urban use.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent enters the Xijiang River system, a major tributary of the Pearl River, which drains into the South China Sea. The Pearl River Delta is a densely populated and ecologically sensitive area, supporting important fisheries and migratory bird habitats. Nutrient loading from wastewater can contribute to eutrophication in downstream coastal waters, making effective treatment critical for maintaining water quality.
