Overview
Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant serves 66,000 people in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, China. 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 the Shengze area of Wujiang District, Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 66,000 residents, placing it in the medium agglomeration category for Chinese municipal wastewater infrastructure. As a plant in China, it operates under the national Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002), which sets effluent limits based on receiving water sensitivity. For plants serving populations of this scale, secondary treatment with nutrient removal is typically required, especially in the Yangtze River Delta region where water quality protection is prioritized. The plant discharges into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Yangtze River Delta and the East China Sea. This region is ecologically significant, supporting diverse aquatic life and providing water resources for agriculture and industry. The plant's performance is critical for maintaining water quality in this densely populated and economically vital area.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent flows into the local water network within the Yangtze River Delta, eventually reaching the East China Sea. This watershed supports a high density of aquatic species and is an important migratory corridor for fish. The delta region faces challenges from industrial and agricultural runoff, making effective wastewater treatment essential for protecting downstream ecosystems and coastal water quality.
