Overview
The Hebei wastewater treatment plant serves Pingquan City in Hebei Province, China, with a population of 98,000. It operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards.
The Hebei wastewater treatment plant is located in Pingquan City, Hebei Province, China, serving an estimated population of 98,000. The facility is part of the municipal infrastructure for this inland city in the Chengde prefecture-level area. As a plant serving a medium-sized agglomeration, it is expected to meet China's Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002), which requires secondary treatment as a minimum. For larger plants, advanced treatment may be mandated to protect receiving water bodies. The plant discharges treated effluent into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Luan River system, which flows into the Bohai Sea. The facility plays a key role in protecting downstream aquatic ecosystems and supporting water quality in the region.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent enters local streams that are part of the Luan River basin, which flows eastward into the Bohai Sea. This coastal sea supports diverse marine life and is an important fishing ground. The plant helps reduce nutrient and pollutant loads, protecting both freshwater and marine environments from eutrophication and contamination.
