Overview
Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant serves Ganyu District, Lianyungang, Jiangsu, China, with a population of 140,000. It is located within 50 km of the coast, discharging into local waterways.
The Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant is located in Ganyu District, Lianyungang City, Jiangsu Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 140,000 people, classifying it as a medium-to-large agglomeration under Chinese wastewater management standards. The plant's designed capacity is 1. As a facility in China, the plant operates under national wastewater discharge standards, including the Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002). For plants serving populations over 100,000, Chinese regulations typically require secondary biological treatment with nutrient removal, especially in sensitive coastal areas. The plant's proximity to the coast suggests it may be subject to stricter effluent limits to protect marine environments. The treated effluent from the plant is discharged into local rivers or streams that ultimately flow into the Yellow Sea. The region's coastal waters support diverse marine life and are important for local fisheries. Proper treatment is essential to prevent eutrophication and protect downstream ecosystems.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the local watershed that drains into the Yellow Sea via the coastal rivers of Jiangsu. The receiving waters support important fisheries and migratory bird habitats. As a coastal facility within 50 km of the sea, the plant's effluent can directly impact marine water quality, necessitating effective nutrient removal to prevent algal blooms and hypoxia in the coastal zone.
Frequently asked questions
The plant is located in Ganyu District, Lianyungang City, Jiangsu Province, China, near the coast of the Yellow Sea.
The plant serves approximately 140,000 people, making it a medium-to-large agglomeration under Chinese wastewater standards.
The treated effluent is discharged into local rivers or streams that flow into the Yellow Sea. As a coastal plant, it must meet stringent discharge standards to protect marine ecosystems.
The plant operates under China's national wastewater discharge standard GB 18918-2002. For plants serving over 100,000 people, secondary treatment with nutrient removal is typically required, especially in coastal sensitive areas.
Plants of this scale in China commonly employ secondary biological treatment processes such as activated sludge, often with advanced nutrient removal (nitrogen and phosphorus) to meet discharge limits for coastal protection.
