Overview
Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant serves Xuyi County in Jiangsu Province, China, with a population equivalent of 120,000. The facility has a designed capacity of 1.00 unit and operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards.
The Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant is located in Xuyi County, part of Huai'an City in Jiangsu Province, China. It serves a population equivalent of 120,000, classifying it as a medium-to-large agglomeration under Chinese wastewater management frameworks. The facility is situated in the eastern region of China, near the Yangtze River Delta, an area with dense population and industrial activity. As a plant serving 120,000 people, it is expected to meet China's Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002), which mandates secondary treatment with nutrient removal for facilities of this scale. The designed capacity is reported as 1. Typical capacities for this population size range from 30,000 to 50,000 m³/day. The treated effluent from the plant likely discharges into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Yangtze River or its tributaries, contributing to the broader Yangtze River Basin. This basin is ecologically significant, supporting diverse aquatic life and providing water resources for agriculture, industry, and domestic use downstream. The plant plays a role in protecting water quality in this densely populated and economically vital region.
Environmental context
The plant is located in Xuyi County, within the Huai River Basin, which flows eastward into the Yangtze River via the Hongze Lake system. The downstream environment includes the Yangtze River Delta, a region of high ecological and economic importance. The plant's discharge contributes to the water quality of local streams that feed into Hongze Lake, a large freshwater lake that supports fisheries and irrigation. Protecting this watershed is critical for maintaining aquatic biodiversity and ensuring safe water for downstream communities.
