Overview
Henan wastewater treatment plant serves Fengqiu County in Henan Province, China, with a population equivalent of 49,000. The facility discharges into local waterways under China's national wastewater standards.
The Henan wastewater treatment plant is located in Fengqiu County, Xinxiang City, Henan Province, China, along S219 near Liuwang Village. It serves a population of approximately 49,000 people, classifying it as a medium-sized municipal facility within the region's 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 conventional pollutants and nutrients. For a facility of this scale, secondary biological treatment with nutrient removal is typically required to meet Class 1A or 1B standards, depending on the sensitivity of the receiving water body. The plant's treated effluent is discharged into local rivers that ultimately drain into the Yellow River basin, a major waterway in northern China. The Yellow River downstream supports agricultural irrigation, industrial use, and aquatic ecosystems, making effective treatment critical for water quality and ecological health in the region.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into tributaries of the Yellow River, which flows through Henan Province and into the Bohai Sea. The Yellow River basin is ecologically significant, supporting diverse aquatic life and providing water for agriculture and industry. Downstream areas include wetlands and floodplains that rely on adequate water quality for ecosystem function and biodiversity.
