Overview
Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant serves Tongzhou District, Nantong, Jiangsu, China, with a designed capacity of 1.00 and a population served of 10,000. It operates under China's national wastewater regulations.
The Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant is located in Tongzhou District, Nantong, within Jiangsu Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 10,000 people, classifying it as a small to medium-scale facility. The plant's designed capacity is 1.00, indicating its intended treatment volume. As a Chinese wastewater facility, the plant operates under the national standards set by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, which mandate appropriate treatment levels based on discharge location and population served. For plants of this scale, secondary treatment is typically required to meet the Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002). The plant's treated effluent likely discharges into local waterways within the Yangtze River basin, which ultimately flows into the East China Sea. This downstream environment supports diverse aquatic life and is ecologically sensitive, requiring careful management of nutrient and pollutant loads to prevent eutrophication and protect water quality.
Environmental context
The plant is situated in the Yangtze River basin, one of China's most important watersheds, which drains into the East China Sea. The receiving water bodies in this region support fisheries and biodiversity, and are subject to seasonal flooding and industrial pressures. Effective treatment is crucial to minimize nutrient and pollutant discharge into this ecologically productive coastal zone.
