Overview
Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant serves Gusu District, Suzhou, China, with a designed capacity of 1.00 and a population equivalent of 205,000. It operates under China's national wastewater standards.
The Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant is located in Gusu District, Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, China. It serves a population equivalent of 205,000, classifying it as a large agglomeration under Chinese wastewater management frameworks. The plant's designed capacity is 1. As a facility in China, the plant operates under the national Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002), which sets effluent limits for various pollutants. For large agglomerations like this, advanced treatment is often required to meet stringent standards, especially in sensitive water environments. The plant's performance is subject to local environmental protection bureau oversight. The plant discharges into the local water system within the Yangtze River Delta region, ultimately draining into the East China Sea. This area is ecologically significant, supporting diverse aquatic life and serving as a critical water resource for Suzhou. Proper treatment is essential to protect downstream water quality and the regional ecosystem.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent enters the local water network within the Yangtze River Delta, a densely populated and economically vital region. The receiving waters flow into the Yangtze River and eventually the East China Sea. This watershed supports fisheries, agriculture, and urban water supply, making nutrient and pollutant control crucial to prevent eutrophication and maintain ecological balance.
