Overview
Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant serves Xinghua City in Jiangsu Province, China, with a population of 8,000. The plant discharges into local waterways under China's national wastewater standards.
The Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant is located in Xinghua City, Taizhou Prefecture, Jiangsu Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 8,000 people, classifying it as a small-scale municipal facility within the region's wastewater infrastructure. As a Chinese treatment plant, it operates under the national Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002), which sets effluent limits for conventional pollutants and nutrients. For plants of this size, secondary biological treatment is typically required, with potential nutrient removal in sensitive watersheds. The plant's treated effluent is discharged into local rivers that are part of the Yangtze River Delta drainage basin. This region is ecologically significant, supporting diverse aquatic life and providing water for agriculture and industry. Proper treatment helps protect downstream water quality in the Yangtze River estuary and the East China Sea.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the local river network within the Yangtze River Delta basin, which ultimately drains into the East China Sea. This watershed supports extensive rice paddies, aquaculture, and freshwater fisheries. Nutrient loading from wastewater can contribute to eutrophication in downstream lakes and coastal zones, making effective treatment critical for maintaining ecological balance.
