Overview
Henan wastewater treatment plant serves Luoyang, Henan, China, with a population equivalent of 65,000. It operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards.
The Henan wastewater treatment plant is located in Ruyang County, Luoyang City, Henan Province, China. It serves a population equivalent of approximately 65,000 people, placing it in the medium-sized agglomeration category under Chinese wastewater management frameworks. The plant is situated inland, away from coastal areas, and discharges into local water bodies that ultimately drain into the Yellow River basin. 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. For sensitive watersheds, tertiary treatment may be mandated to control nutrients and protect downstream ecosystems. The plant's operational details, including specific treatment processes and capacity, are managed by local municipal authorities. The treated effluent from this plant enters the local river system, which flows into the Yellow River, one of China's major waterways. The Yellow River basin supports diverse aquatic life and provides water for agriculture, industry, and domestic use. Protecting water quality in this basin is critical for ecological health and human well-being in the region.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into local waterways that are part of the Yellow River basin, a major river system in northern China. The Yellow River flows through several provinces before reaching the Bohai Sea. The watershed supports important aquatic habitats and is subject to nutrient pollution pressures from agricultural and urban runoff. Maintaining effective treatment at this plant helps reduce pollutant loads to the river and downstream environments.
Frequently asked questions
The plant is located in Ruyang County, Luoyang City, Henan Province, China, at coordinates 34. 156 N, 112. 491 E.
The plant serves a population equivalent of approximately 65,000 people, classifying it as a medium-sized agglomeration.
The plant discharges into local rivers that are part of the Yellow River basin, which ultimately flows into the Bohai Sea.
The plant operates under China's GB 18918-2002 discharge standard, which sets limits for pollutants like COD, BOD, and ammonia. For plants of this scale, secondary treatment is typically required.
In China, municipal plants serving populations around 65,000 generally employ secondary biological treatment, such as activated sludge, to meet national discharge standards. In sensitive areas, additional nutrient removal may be required.
