Overview
Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant serves Ganyu District, Lianyungang, Jiangsu, China, with a designed capacity of 1.00 cubic meters per second, supporting a population of 80,000.
The Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant is located in Ganyu District, Lianyungang City, Jiangsu Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 80,000 people and has a designed capacity of 1.00 cubic meters per second, indicating a medium-scale municipal facility. As a Chinese wastewater treatment plant, it operates under national standards such as the Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002). For a plant serving around 80,000 people, secondary treatment with nutrient removal is typically required to meet Class 1-A or 1-B effluent standards, depending on the receiving water body's sensitivity. The plant is located within 50 km of the coast, suggesting its treated effluent likely discharges into a river or coastal water body that ultimately reaches the Yellow Sea. This proximity to marine waters necessitates careful management of nutrients and pollutants to protect coastal ecosystems and fisheries in the region.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent likely flows into a local river system that drains into the Yellow Sea, a semi-enclosed marginal sea of the Pacific Ocean. The Yellow Sea supports diverse marine life, including important fisheries and migratory bird habitats. Discharge of nutrients and pollutants from coastal plants can contribute to eutrophication and algal blooms, impacting water quality and marine biodiversity. Effective treatment is essential to minimize ecological stress on this sensitive coastal environment.
