Overview
Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant serves Wuzhong District, Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, China, with a population equivalent of 120,000. The facility has a designed capacity of 1.00 unit, operating under China's national wastewater standards.
The Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant is located in Wuzhong District, Suzhou, within Jiangsu Province, China. It serves a population equivalent of approximately 120,000, placing it in the medium-to-large agglomeration category. The facility is situated in the Yangtze River Delta region, a densely populated and economically active area. The plant operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards, which mandate secondary treatment as a minimum for urban facilities. For plants serving populations over 100,000, enhanced treatment may be required in sensitive watersheds. The designed capacity of 1.00 unit suggests the plant is sized to handle the local load. The treated effluent is discharged into the local water system, which ultimately drains into the Yangtze River and then the East China Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting downstream water quality in the Yangtze River Basin, supporting aquatic ecosystems and reducing nutrient loads to coastal waters.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the local water network within the Yangtze River Basin, which flows into the East China Sea. This region supports diverse aquatic life and is an important migratory corridor for fish species. The Yangtze River Delta is ecologically sensitive due to high population density and industrial activity, making effective wastewater treatment critical for maintaining water quality and preventing eutrophication in downstream coastal areas.
