Overview
Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant serves 22,000 people in Taicang, Jiangsu, China. Located near the coast, it operates under national discharge standards.
The Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant is located in Taicang City, Jiangsu Province, China, serving a population of approximately 22,000. Situated in the Liuhe Town area, the plant is part of the municipal infrastructure for the region. The facility has a designed capacity of 1.00 (likely in cubic meters per day or similar unit), indicating a moderate scale of operation. As a Chinese wastewater treatment facility, the plant operates under the national Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002). This standard sets effluent limits for various pollutants, and plants of this size are typically required to achieve secondary treatment or higher. The regulatory framework ensures that treated water meets environmental quality standards before discharge. The plant discharges treated wastewater into local waterways that eventually flow into the Yangtze River Delta and the East China Sea. The region's dense population and industrial activity make effective wastewater treatment critical for protecting downstream aquatic ecosystems and coastal water quality. The plant's proximity to the coast (within 50 km) underscores its role in preventing nutrient pollution and safeguarding marine environments.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent enters local rivers in the Yangtze River Delta, a densely populated and ecologically sensitive region. These waterways drain into the East China Sea, supporting diverse aquatic life and important fisheries. Nutrient loading from wastewater can contribute to eutrophication in coastal waters, making effective treatment essential for maintaining water quality and ecosystem health.
