Overview
Hebei wastewater treatment plant serves Shijiazhuang, Hebei, China, with a population equivalent of 50,000. It operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards.
The Hebei wastewater treatment plant is located in Lingshou County, Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province, China. It serves a population equivalent of approximately 50,000, classifying it as a medium-sized municipal facility within the region's wastewater infrastructure. Under China's national wastewater discharge standards (GB 18918-2002), plants of this scale are typically required to meet Class 1-A or 1-B effluent limits, depending on the receiving water body's sensitivity. Regulatory expectations for this population tier generally include secondary biological treatment with nutrient removal. The plant discharges into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Hai River basin, a major system in northern China that flows into the Bohai Sea. The Hai River basin supports agricultural irrigation and industrial water use, and its downstream environment includes ecologically sensitive coastal zones in the Bohai Sea.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent enters the Hai River basin, which flows through Hebei Province and Tianjin before reaching the Bohai Sea. The Bohai Sea is a semi-enclosed marginal sea with significant ecological importance, supporting fisheries and migratory bird habitats. Downstream water quality management is critical due to the basin's high population density and industrial activity.
