Overview
Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant serves Yixing City in Jiangsu Province, China, with a designed capacity of 1.00 (unit unspecified) and a population equivalent of 85,000. It operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards.
The Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant is located in Yixing City, Jiangsu Province, China, serving a population equivalent of approximately 85,000. The facility is situated in the Yangtze River Delta region, an area known for its dense water network and industrial activity. The plant operates under China's Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002), which mandates secondary treatment with nutrient removal for plants of this scale. The designed capacity is 1.00 (likely in units of 10,000 m³/d or similar), indicating a medium-sized facility. The treated effluent is discharged into local waterways that ultimately drain into Lake Taihu, a large freshwater lake in the Yangtze Delta. Lake Taihu is ecologically significant and has faced eutrophication challenges, making nutrient removal critical for downstream water quality and aquatic ecosystem health.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Lake Taihu basin, a major freshwater lake in the Yangtze River Delta. Lake Taihu supports diverse aquatic life and is a vital water resource for the region. The lake has experienced algal blooms due to nutrient pollution, so effective treatment is essential to protect water quality and downstream ecosystems that connect to the Yangtze River and East China Sea.
