Overview
Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant serves Haimen District, Nantong, Jiangsu, China, with a designed capacity of 1.00 and a population equivalent of 60,000. It is located within 50 km of the coast, discharging into local waterways.
The Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant is located in the Sanchang Street area of Haimen District, Nantong City, Jiangsu Province, China. It serves a population equivalent of approximately 60,000, classifying it as a medium-sized agglomeration under Chinese wastewater management standards. As a plant in China, it operates under the national Water Pollution Prevention and Control Law and relevant discharge standards (e.g., GB 18918-2002). For agglomerations of this scale, secondary treatment is typically required, with potential nutrient removal in sensitive areas. The plant's treated effluent is discharged into local rivers that flow into the Yangtze River estuary and ultimately the East China Sea. This coastal proximity means the plant plays a role in protecting downstream aquatic ecosystems and marine water quality in the region.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Yangtze River Delta watershed, a densely populated and industrially active region. The receiving waters flow into the East China Sea, supporting fisheries and migratory species. Nutrient loading from wastewater can contribute to eutrophication in coastal zones, making treatment standards critical for ecological health.
Frequently asked questions
