Overview
Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant serves Yixing City in Jiangsu Province, China, with a designed capacity of 1.00 and a population served of 78,000. It operates under China's national wastewater regulations.
The Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant is located in Guanlin Town, Yixing City, within Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 78,000 people, placing it in the medium agglomeration category. The plant's designed capacity is 1. Under China's wastewater regulatory framework, plants serving populations between 10,000 and 100,000 are typically required to meet secondary treatment standards as per the Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002). This standard sets limits for biochemical oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, suspended solids, and nutrients, ensuring treated effluent meets environmental protection requirements. The plant discharges into the local water system, which ultimately drains into the Yangtze River Delta region. The Yangtze River is a major ecological corridor supporting diverse aquatic life and providing water resources for agriculture, industry, and domestic use. The plant's operation contributes to protecting downstream water quality in this densely populated and economically vital region.
Environmental context
The Jiangsu plant discharges into the local water network within the Yangtze River basin, which flows eastward into the East China Sea. The Yangtze River Delta is a highly productive ecological zone supporting fisheries, migratory birds, and diverse aquatic habitats. The plant's treated effluent helps maintain water quality in this sensitive watershed, which faces pressures from urbanization and industrial activity.
