Overview
The Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant serves 26,000 people in Taicang, Jiangsu Province, China. It has a designed capacity of 1.00 (unit unspecified) and discharges into local waterways.
The Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant is located in Taicang, a city in Jiangsu Province, China. The plant is situated inland, more than 50 km from the coast, and its treated effluent likely enters the Yangtze River Delta watershed. As a plant in China, it operates under national wastewater discharge standards (GB 18918-2002) and local environmental regulations. For a population of 26,000, secondary treatment with nutrient removal is typically required to meet Class 1A or 1B standards, depending on the receiving water body's sensitivity. The plant's discharge ultimately flows into the Yangtze River, which drains into the East China Sea. The Yangtze River Delta is a densely populated and ecologically important region, supporting diverse aquatic life and providing water for agriculture and industry. Proper treatment helps protect downstream water quality and the marine environment.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Yangtze River Delta watershed, which flows into the East China Sea. The Yangtze River is one of the world's largest rivers, supporting a rich ecosystem and providing critical habitat for migratory fish and birds. The delta region is ecologically sensitive due to high population density and industrial activity, making effective wastewater treatment essential for maintaining water quality and biodiversity.
