The Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant is located in Dianshanhu Town, Kunshan, Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, China. It serves a population of 61,000 and has a designed capacity of 1.00, indicating it is a medium-scale facility supporting the local urban area. As a Chinese wastewater treatment plant, it operates under the national Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002), which sets effluent limits for various pollutants. For a plant serving over 50,000 people, advanced treatment is typically required to meet Class 1A standards, especially in sensitive watersheds. The plant discharges into the local water system, which ultimately flows into the Yangtze River Delta region, a densely populated and ecologically important area. The receiving water body supports aquatic life and is used for irrigation and industrial purposes downstream.
Environmental context
