Overview
The Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant serves 38,000 people in Gaogang District, Taizhou, Jiangsu Province, China. It operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards for municipal facilities.
The Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant is located in the Binjiang community of the Chemical New Materials Industrial Park, along Yanjiang Street in Gaogang District, Taizhou, Jiangsu Province. It serves a population of approximately 38,000 residents in this industrial and urban area of eastern China. As a municipal facility in China, the plant is subject to the Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002), which sets effluent limits based on the receiving water's environmental sensitivity. For plants serving populations around 38,000, secondary treatment with nutrient removal is typically required to meet Class 1-A or 1-B standards, depending on local watershed protection needs. The plant's treated effluent is discharged into local waterways that eventually flow into the Yangtze River, one of China's most ecologically and economically significant rivers. The Yangtze River basin supports diverse aquatic life and provides water for millions downstream. Proper treatment at this facility helps protect the river's water quality and the health of its estuarine and coastal ecosystems.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into local waterways that drain into the Yangtze River, which flows eastward into the East China Sea near Shanghai. The Yangtze River basin is a critical freshwater resource supporting extensive biodiversity, including endemic fish species and migratory birds. Downstream, the river's estuary and coastal zone are ecologically sensitive areas that require careful management of nutrient and pollutant loads to prevent eutrophication and habitat degradation.
