Overview
Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant serves Huishan District, Wuxi, Jiangsu, China, with a designed capacity of 1.00 and a population served of 189,000. It operates under China's national wastewater regulations.
The Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant is located in Huishan District, Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, China. It serves a population of 189,000, making it a medium-to-large agglomeration under Chinese wastewater management standards. The plant's designed capacity is 1. As a facility in China, the plant is subject to the national Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002), which sets effluent limits based on receiving water sensitivity. For plants serving populations over 100,000, advanced treatment with nutrient removal is typically required to protect water quality, especially in densely populated and industrialized regions like Jiangsu. The plant discharges into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Yangtze River Delta and the East China Sea. The region is ecologically significant, supporting diverse aquatic life and providing water resources for agriculture and industry. Proper treatment is critical to prevent eutrophication and protect downstream ecosystems in this heavily urbanized and economically vital area.
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 dense population and intensive industrial activity, making nutrient and pollutant control essential to prevent algal blooms and maintain water quality in downstream lakes and coastal zones.
