Overview
Hebei wastewater treatment plant serves Qinghe County, Hebei Province, China, with a population of 164,000. The facility operates under China's national wastewater standards.
The Hebei wastewater treatment plant is located in Qinghe County, Hebei Province, China, serving a population of approximately 164,000. The plant is situated in the eastern part of the county, near the village of Wangjiazui, and plays a key role in managing municipal wastewater for the area. As a facility serving a medium-to-large agglomeration, it is expected to comply with China's Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002), which sets effluent limits for conventional pollutants and nutrients. For plants of this scale, secondary treatment with nutrient removal is typically required, especially in sensitive watersheds. The plant discharges treated effluent into local waterways that eventually drain into the Bohai Sea via the Hai River system. The downstream environment includes agricultural and urban areas, and the plant's performance is important for protecting water quality in the region.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent flows into the Hai River basin, which drains into the Bohai Sea. The Hai River system supports diverse aquatic life and is used for irrigation and industrial water supply. The Bohai Sea is a semi-enclosed water body that faces eutrophication pressures from nutrient inputs, making effective wastewater treatment crucial for coastal water quality.
