Overview
Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant serves Huaiyin District, Huai'an, Jiangsu, China, with a population of 146,000. The facility has a designed capacity of 1.00 unit and is located inland, discharging into local waterways.
The Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant is located in Huaiyin District, Huai'an, Jiangsu Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 146,000 people, classifying it as a medium-to-large agglomeration under Chinese wastewater management standards. The facility is situated inland, away from coastal areas, and its operations are part of the municipal infrastructure for the region. The plant operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards, which require secondary treatment for urban wastewater treatment plants serving populations of this scale. The designed capacity is reported as 1.00, indicating the plant's intended throughput. The regulatory framework in China mandates compliance with the Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002), which sets limits on effluent quality. The treated effluent from the plant is discharged into local rivers that are part of the Huai River basin. This basin is ecologically significant, supporting diverse aquatic life and providing water for agricultural and industrial use downstream. The plant plays a crucial role in protecting water quality in the region, reducing pollutant loads before discharge into the watershed.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Huai River basin, which flows eastward into the Yellow Sea. The Huai River is a major waterway in eastern China, supporting extensive agricultural irrigation and fisheries. The downstream environment includes ecologically sensitive areas that rely on good water quality for biodiversity and human use. The plant's treatment helps mitigate nutrient and pollutant loading, protecting aquatic habitats and downstream communities.
