Overview
Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant serves 22,000 people in Jiangyin, Jiangsu, China. The facility has a designed capacity of 1.00 unit and operates under national wastewater regulations.
The Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant is located in Jiangyin, Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, China, serving a population of approximately 22,000 residents. It is situated in the Huangtu town area, part of the broader Yangtze River Delta region, which is densely populated and industrially active. With a designed capacity of 1.00 unit, the plant treats municipal wastewater from the local community. Chinese wastewater treatment plants typically follow national discharge standards (GB 18918-2002) and may include primary, secondary, or advanced treatment depending on local requirements. The plant's treated effluent likely discharges into local waterways that eventually flow into the Yangtze River, one of China's major rivers, which empties into the East China Sea. The Yangtze River basin supports diverse aquatic life and provides water for millions of people, making effective wastewater treatment crucial for environmental protection.
Environmental context
The plant is located in the Yangtze River Delta, a region with extensive river networks. Treated wastewater likely enters tributaries of the Yangtze River, which flows eastward into the East China Sea. The downstream environment includes ecologically sensitive areas such as wetlands and estuaries that support migratory birds and fish species. Proper treatment helps reduce nutrient loading and protect water quality in this densely populated and economically vital region.
