Overview
Hebei wastewater treatment plant serves Cixian, Hebei, China, with a population of 81,000. The plant operates under China's national wastewater standards.
The Hebei wastewater treatment plant is located in Cixian, Handan, Hebei Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 81,000 people, classifying it as a medium-sized municipal facility within the region's water management infrastructure. China's wastewater treatment regulations, including the Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002), set effluent limits based on receiving water sensitivity. For plants serving populations over 50,000, secondary treatment with nutrient removal is typically required to protect water quality. 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 industrial water use, and its ecological health is critical for the region's water security and aquatic biodiversity.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent enters the Hai River basin, a major water system in northern China that flows into the Bohai Sea. The basin faces challenges from industrial and agricultural runoff, and the plant's nutrient removal helps reduce eutrophication risks in downstream waters. The Bohai Sea is a semi-enclosed sea with limited water exchange, making it sensitive to pollutant accumulation.
