Overview
Henan wastewater treatment plant serves Luoyang, China, with a population equivalent of 120,000. It operates under China's national wastewater standards, discharging treated effluent into local waterways.
The Henan wastewater treatment plant is located in the Yiluo subdistrict of Yanshi district, Luoyang, Henan province, China. It serves a population equivalent of 120,000, classifying it as a medium-to-large agglomeration under Chinese municipal wastewater management. As a plant in China, it is subject to the Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002), which sets effluent limits for conventional pollutants and nutrients. For plants of this scale, secondary treatment with nutrient removal is typically required, especially when discharging into sensitive water bodies. The plant's treated effluent likely discharges into the Luo River or its tributaries, which flow into the Yellow River basin. The Yellow River is a major water source for northern China and supports extensive agricultural and industrial activities downstream. Proper treatment helps protect water quality and aquatic ecosystems in this densely populated region.
Environmental context
The plant's receiving water body is part of the Yellow River basin, which ultimately drains into the Bohai Sea. The Yellow River is heavily utilized for irrigation, drinking water, and industry, making nutrient and pollutant control critical. The downstream environment includes the Yellow River Delta, an ecologically sensitive area that supports migratory birds and diverse aquatic life.
