Overview
The Hebei wastewater treatment plant in Tangshan, China serves 50,000 people with a designed capacity of 1.00 unit. Located near the coast, it operates under China's national wastewater standards.
The Hebei wastewater treatment plant is located in Tangshan, Hebei Province, China, serving a population of approximately 50,000. The facility is situated in the coastal city of Tangshan, an important industrial and port area in northern China. The plant has a designed capacity of 1.00 unit, indicating its scale in managing municipal wastewater for the local community. As a Chinese wastewater treatment facility, the plant operates under the national Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002), which sets effluent limits based on the receiving water body's sensitivity. For plants serving populations around 50,000, secondary treatment with nutrient removal is typically required, especially in environmentally sensitive areas. It is expected to comply with these national standards. The plant's discharge likely enters local waterways that drain into the Bohai Sea, a semi-enclosed marginal sea of the Pacific Ocean. The Bohai Sea is ecologically significant, supporting fisheries and marine biodiversity, and is subject to pollution pressures from surrounding industrial and urban areas. The plant plays a role in protecting downstream water quality and the coastal environment.
Environmental context
The Hebei plant is located near the coast of the Bohai Sea, a major water body that receives discharge from rivers in Hebei Province. The Bohai Sea is a semi-enclosed sea with limited water exchange, making it sensitive to nutrient pollution and algal blooms. The plant's treated effluent likely contributes to the protection of this marine ecosystem by reducing pollutant loads from the Tangshan urban area.
