Overview
Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant serves Zhangjiagang City in Jiangsu Province, China. It has a designed capacity of 1.00 and serves a population of 10,000.
The Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant is located in Zhangjiagang City, Jiangsu Province, China, within the Yangtze River Delta region. It serves a population of approximately 10,000 people, classifying it as a small to medium-sized municipal facility. The plant is situated in an urban area near the Yangtze River, which is the primary water body in the region. As a Chinese wastewater treatment facility, it operates under national standards such as the Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002). For plants of this scale, secondary treatment with nutrient removal is typically required, especially in sensitive areas like the Yangtze River basin. The designed capacity of 1.00 (likely in 10,000 m³/d) suggests a modest facility. The plant's treated effluent is likely discharged into local waterways that eventually flow into the Yangtze River, one of the world's major rivers. The Yangtze River supports diverse aquatic life and provides water for millions of people. Proper treatment is essential to protect this vital ecosystem from nutrient pollution and other contaminants.
Environmental context
The plant is located within the Yangtze River basin, which drains into the East China Sea. The Yangtze River is a critical water resource supporting agriculture, industry, and drinking water for a large population. The downstream environment includes sensitive estuarine and coastal ecosystems that are vulnerable to eutrophication from nutrient loads. Effective wastewater treatment helps mitigate these impacts.
