Overview
The Hebei wastewater treatment plant serves Xiong County in Hebei Province, China, with a population of 58,000. It operates under China's national wastewater regulations.
The Hebei wastewater treatment plant is located in Xiong County, part of the Xiong'an New Area in Hebei Province, China. The facility serves a population of approximately 58,000 people, placing it in the medium agglomeration category for Chinese wastewater infrastructure. Under China's national wastewater standards, plants serving populations of this scale are typically required to meet Class 1-A or 1-B effluent standards under the Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002). These standards mandate secondary biological treatment with nutrient removal for sensitive water bodies. The plant's treated effluent likely discharges into local waterways that drain into the Hai River system, which ultimately flows into the Bohai Sea. The region is part of the larger Hai River basin, an ecologically important area supporting agriculture and urban water supply in northern China.
Environmental context
The plant is located in the Hai River basin, which drains into the Bohai Sea via the Hai River and its tributaries. The downstream environment includes agricultural areas and the Bohai Sea coastal zone, which supports diverse marine life and is an important fishing ground. The region faces challenges from industrial and agricultural runoff, making effective wastewater treatment critical for water quality.
