Overview
Hebei wastewater treatment plant serves Zhangjiakou, Hebei, China, with a population of 63,000. The plant operates under China's national wastewater standards.
The Hebei wastewater treatment plant is located in Yangyuan County, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 63,000 people, placing it in the medium-sized agglomeration category for Chinese municipal wastewater 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. The population served suggests a moderate throughput. 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 urban water supply in northern China, making proper treatment essential for downstream water quality and ecosystem health.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent enters local tributaries of the Hai River system, which flows through Hebei Province and Tianjin before reaching the Bohai Sea. The Hai River basin is a densely populated and agriculturally intensive region, where wastewater treatment helps reduce nutrient loading and protect coastal waters. The Bohai Sea is a semi-enclosed water body sensitive to eutrophication from upstream pollution.
Frequently asked questions
The Hebei wastewater treatment plant is located in Yangyuan County, Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province, China.
The plant serves approximately 63,000 people, classifying it as a medium-sized municipal wastewater treatment facility.
Treated wastewater from the plant is discharged into local waterways that are part of the Hai River basin, eventually reaching the Bohai Sea.
The plant operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards, specifically GB 18918-2002, which sets effluent limits for pollutants based on the sensitivity of the receiving water body.
For a medium-sized agglomeration in China, secondary biological treatment with nutrient removal is typically required to meet national discharge standards, especially when discharging into sensitive water bodies.
