Overview
Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant serves Xinghua City in Jiangsu Province, China, with a designed capacity of 1.00 unit. It treats wastewater from a population of approximately 23,000.
The Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant is located in Lincheng, Xinghua City, within Taizhou Prefecture, Jiangsu Province, China. It serves a population of about 23,000, placing it in the small-to-medium agglomeration category under Chinese wastewater regulations. China's wastewater treatment standards are governed by the national Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002), which mandates secondary treatment as a baseline. For plants of this scale, tertiary treatment may be required if the receiving water body is in a sensitive area. The plant's designed capacity is 1.00, though the unit is unspecified. The plant discharges treated effluent into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Yangtze River Delta region, a densely populated and ecologically significant area. The surrounding watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is important for regional water supply and agriculture.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent flows into the local river network within the Yangtze River Basin, eventually reaching the East China Sea. This watershed supports a variety of freshwater species and is a critical resource for irrigation and drinking water in the region. The area is characterized by flat terrain and a subtropical monsoon climate, which influences seasonal flow patterns and pollutant dilution.
