Overview
The Hebei wastewater treatment plant serves 61,200 people in Jize County, Handan City, Hebei Province, China. It operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards.
The Hebei wastewater treatment plant is located in Jize County, Handan City, Hebei Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 61,200, placing it in the medium-sized agglomeration category for Chinese municipal wastewater infrastructure. China's wastewater treatment standards, governed by the Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002), require secondary treatment as a baseline for plants of this scale. Typical facilities in this region employ biological treatment processes such as activated sludge or A2O to meet Class 1A or 1B effluent standards. The plant discharges 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 in the North China Plain, and its water quality is critical for downstream ecosystems and human water supply.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent enters the local drainage network within the Hai River basin, which flows through Hebei Province and Tianjin before reaching the Bohai Sea. The Hai River system is heavily regulated due to water scarcity and pollution pressures from agriculture and industry. Downstream waters support diverse aquatic life and are used for irrigation, making nutrient and pollutant removal essential for ecological and human health.
