Overview
Heilongjiang wastewater treatment plant serves 169,000 people in Suihua, Heilongjiang, China. The facility operates under China's national wastewater standards for large agglomerations.
The Heilongjiang wastewater treatment plant is located in Wanbaoshan Town, Anda City, Suihua, Heilongjiang Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 169,000, classifying it as a large agglomeration under Chinese wastewater regulations. The plant is situated inland, away from coastal areas, and its operations are part of the municipal infrastructure for the region. As a large-scale facility, the plant is expected to meet China's discharge standards for urban wastewater treatment, which typically require secondary treatment or higher. The regulatory framework in China, including the Water Pollution Prevention and Control Law, sets effluent limits for pollutants such as COD, BOD, and ammonia nitrogen. The plant's performance is likely monitored by local environmental authorities to ensure compliance with these standards. The treated wastewater from the plant is discharged into local water bodies within the Songhua River basin, which ultimately drains into the Sea of Japan via the Amur River. The downstream environment supports diverse aquatic life and is important for regional agriculture and fisheries. The plant plays a key role in protecting water quality in this ecologically significant watershed.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Songhua River basin, a major tributary of the Amur River system. The Amur River flows into the Sea of Japan, supporting a rich ecosystem including migratory fish species. The watershed is ecologically sensitive due to its role in regional biodiversity and agricultural irrigation. Protecting water quality here is critical for maintaining the health of downstream habitats and human communities.
Frequently asked questions

The plant serves approximately 169,000 people, classifying it as a large agglomeration under Chinese wastewater regulations.
The treated wastewater is discharged into local water bodies within the Songhua River basin, which flows into the Amur River and eventually the Sea of Japan.
The plant operates under China's Water Pollution Prevention and Control Law, which sets effluent standards for urban wastewater treatment plants. Large agglomerations like this are typically required to achieve secondary treatment or higher.
For a plant of this scale in China, secondary treatment is standard, often including biological processes to remove organic matter and nutrients. Some plants may also incorporate tertiary treatment for nutrient removal in sensitive areas.
