Overview
Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant serves 260,000 people in Lianyun District, Lianyungang, Jiangsu Province, China. It is located within 50 km of the coast, discharging into the local watershed.
The Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant is situated in Lianyun District, Lianyungang, Jiangsu Province, China, serving a population of 260,000. The facility is part of the municipal wastewater infrastructure for the region, operating under China's national wastewater discharge standards. As a large agglomeration serving over 150,000 people, the plant is expected to meet secondary treatment standards under China's Water Pollution Prevention and Control Law. The designed capacity is 1.00 (likely in million cubic meters per day or similar unit), indicating a substantial treatment capability. Typical facilities in this region employ activated sludge or similar biological processes. The plant discharges treated wastewater into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Yellow Sea. The receiving water body supports diverse aquatic life and is important for regional fisheries and coastal ecology. The plant's proximity to the coast (within 50 km) means its effluent can influence nearshore water quality and marine habitats.
Environmental context
The treated effluent from the Jiangsu plant flows into the local river system, which drains into the Yellow Sea. This coastal region supports important fisheries and migratory bird habitats. The plant's discharge contributes to the nutrient load in the watershed, potentially affecting coastal eutrophication if not adequately treated. The area is ecologically sensitive due to its proximity to marine environments and the need to maintain water quality for both human use and biodiversity.
