Overview
Henan wastewater treatment plant serves Luoyang, Henan, China, with a population of 58,500. It operates under China's national wastewater standards for secondary treatment.
The Henan wastewater treatment plant is located in Chenguan Town, Song County, Luoyang, Henan Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 58,500, classifying it as a medium-sized municipal facility within the region's wastewater infrastructure. Under China's national wastewater discharge standards (GB 18918-2002), plants of this scale are typically required to achieve at least secondary treatment to protect receiving water bodies. Regulatory expectations for similar agglomerations include nutrient removal in sensitive areas. The plant discharges treated effluent into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Yellow River basin, a major river system in northern China. The downstream environment supports agricultural irrigation and aquatic ecosystems, making effective treatment essential for water quality and ecological health.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent flows into tributaries of the Yellow River, which is the second-longest river in China and a vital water source for agriculture, industry, and domestic use. The Yellow River basin faces challenges from pollution and water scarcity, so the plant's operations contribute to protecting downstream water quality and supporting the region's ecological balance.
