Overview
Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant serves 62,000 people in Xishan District, Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, China. The facility has a designed capacity of 1.00 unit and operates under China's national wastewater standards.
The Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant is located in Donggang Town, Xishan District, Wuxi, within Jiangsu Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 62,000, classifying it as a medium-sized agglomeration under Chinese municipal wastewater management. The plant operates under China's Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002), which sets effluent limits based on receiving water sensitivity. For plants of this scale, secondary biological treatment with nutrient removal is typical to meet Class 1-A or 1-B standards. The plant discharges into local waterways that eventually drain into the Yangtze River Delta, a densely populated and economically vital region. The downstream environment supports extensive agriculture, aquaculture, and freshwater ecosystems, making effective wastewater treatment critical for protecting water quality and public health.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent flows into tributaries of the Yangtze River, which empties into the East China Sea near Shanghai. The Yangtze Delta is a major ecological and economic zone, supporting diverse aquatic life and providing drinking water for millions. Nutrient loading from wastewater can contribute to eutrophication in downstream lakes and coastal waters, so advanced treatment is important for preserving water quality.
