Henan wastewater treatment plant is located in Taiqian County, Puyang City, Henan Province, China. The facility serves a population of approximately 51,000 people, placing it in the medium agglomeration category for Chinese municipal wastewater infrastructure. As a Chinese wastewater treatment plant, it operates under the national Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002), which sets effluent limits for various pollutants. For plants serving populations around 50,000, secondary treatment with nutrient removal is typically required to meet Class 1-A or 1-B standards, depending on the receiving water body's sensitivity. The plant's treated effluent likely discharges into a local river within the Hai River basin, which ultimately flows into the Bohai Sea. The downstream environment supports aquatic life and agricultural water use, making effective nutrient and pollutant removal important for regional water quality.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into a tributary of the Hai River system, which flows through Henan and Hebei provinces before reaching the Bohai Sea near Tianjin. The Bohai Sea is a semi-enclosed marginal sea that supports fisheries and marine biodiversity. Effective treatment is crucial to prevent eutrophication and protect downstream aquatic ecosystems.
