Overview
The Hebei wastewater treatment plant serves Anguo City in Hebei Province, China, with a population equivalent of 100,000. It operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards.
The Hebei wastewater treatment plant is located in Anguo City, part of Baoding Prefecture in Hebei Province, China. The facility serves a population equivalent of 100,000, classifying it as a medium-to-large agglomeration under Chinese municipal wastewater management. As a plant of this scale, it is expected to comply with China's Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002), which mandates secondary treatment with nutrient removal for sensitive water bodies. Typical Chinese plants of this size employ activated sludge processes with biological nitrogen and phosphorus removal. The plant discharges treated effluent into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Hai River basin, which flows into the Bohai Sea. The Hai River system supports agricultural irrigation and urban water supply, making proper treatment critical for downstream water quality and ecosystem health.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent enters the local drainage network within the Hai River basin, which flows eastward into the Bohai Sea. The Hai River system is heavily regulated due to industrial and agricultural pollution pressures, and the Bohai Sea is a semi-enclosed water body sensitive to nutrient loading. Effective treatment at this plant helps reduce eutrophication risks in downstream rivers and coastal waters.
Frequently asked questions
The Hebei wastewater treatment plant is located in Anguo City, Baoding Prefecture, Hebei Province, China. Its address is on Baoheng North Street in Yaodu Subdistrict.
The Hebei wastewater treatment plant serves a population equivalent of 100,000 people, classifying it as a medium-to-large municipal facility.
The plant discharges treated effluent into local waterways that are part of the Hai River basin, which ultimately flows into the Bohai Sea.
The plant operates under China's national standard GB 18918-2002, which sets discharge limits for pollutants including COD, BOD, ammonia nitrogen, and phosphorus. Plants serving over 100,000 people typically require secondary treatment with nutrient removal.
For a plant serving 100,000 people in China, the typical treatment level is secondary biological treatment with nutrient removal, often using activated sludge processes. This meets the Grade 1A or 1B discharge standards under GB 18918-2002, depending on the receiving water's sensitivity.
