Overview
Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant serves Xiangcheng District, Suzhou, China, with a designed capacity of 1.00 and population served of 53,000. It operates under China's national wastewater regulations.
The Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant is located in Weixi Village, Weitang Town, Xiangcheng District, Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, China. It serves a population of 53,000, classifying it as a medium-sized agglomeration under Chinese wastewater management standards. The plant's designed capacity is 1.00, indicating its scale within the local infrastructure. As a facility in China, the plant operates under the national Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002), which sets effluent limits based on receiving water body sensitivity. For plants serving populations over 50,000, secondary treatment with nutrient removal is typically required, especially in sensitive watersheds like those in the Yangtze River Delta. The plant's treated effluent likely discharges into local waterways that flow into the Yangtze River or its tributaries, eventually reaching the East China Sea. This region is ecologically significant, supporting diverse aquatic life and providing water resources for agriculture and industry. Proper treatment is crucial to protect downstream water quality and the health of the Yangtze estuary ecosystem.
Environmental context
The plant is situated in the Yangtze River Delta, one of China's most densely populated and industrialized regions. Its treated effluent likely enters local canals or rivers that drain into the Yangtze River, which flows into the East China Sea. This watershed supports critical fisheries and migratory bird habitats, making nutrient and pollutant control essential for maintaining ecological balance.
