Overview
Henan wastewater treatment plant serves Luoyang, China, with a population equivalent of 58,600. The facility operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards.
The Henan wastewater treatment plant is located in Luoyang, Henan Province, China, serving a population equivalent of 58,600. It is situated in the Yichuan County area, part of the larger Luoyang urban agglomeration. The plant plays a key role in managing municipal wastewater for this inland community. As a medium-sized agglomeration, the plant is expected to meet China's Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002), which sets limits for COD, BOD, ammonia nitrogen, and total phosphorus. Secondary treatment with nutrient removal is typical for plants of this scale in China, especially those discharging into sensitive water bodies. The plant's treated effluent likely discharges into a local river within the Yellow River basin, as Luoyang is situated along the Luo River, a tributary of the Yellow River. The Yellow River is a major water source for northern China and supports extensive agricultural and industrial activities downstream. Proper treatment is essential to protect water quality and aquatic ecosystems in this region.
Environmental context
The plant is located inland in the Yellow River basin, with the Luo River as the likely receiving water body. The Luo River flows into the Yellow River, which ultimately reaches the Bohai Sea. The Yellow River basin is ecologically sensitive due to high sediment loads and intensive water use for agriculture and industry. Effective wastewater treatment helps reduce nutrient and pollutant loads, supporting the health of downstream aquatic habitats and the Bohai Sea coastal zone.
