Overview
Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant serves Xinwu District, Wuxi, Jiangsu, China, with a population equivalent of 200,000. The plant has a designed capacity of 1.00 (unit unspecified) and operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards.
The Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant is located in Wangzhuang Subdistrict, Xinwu District, Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province, China. It serves a population equivalent of 200,000, classifying it as a large agglomeration under Chinese wastewater management frameworks. The plant is situated in the densely populated Yangtze River Delta region, an area with significant industrial and urban wastewater treatment demands. The plant's scale suggests it likely employs secondary or advanced treatment to meet China's Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002). This standard requires pollutant removal to protect receiving water bodies. The designed capacity of 1.00 (likely in units of 10,000 m³/d or similar) indicates the plant's infrastructure scale. The plant discharges treated effluent into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Yangtze River and then the East China Sea. The Yangtze River Delta is ecologically sensitive, supporting diverse aquatic life and providing water resources for millions. Proper treatment at this plant helps reduce nutrient and pollutant loads, contributing to the health of downstream ecosystems and coastal waters.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent flows into the local river network within the Yangtze River basin, eventually reaching the East China Sea. The Yangtze River Delta is a critical ecological zone, supporting fisheries, migratory birds, and diverse aquatic habitats. Nutrient and pollutant discharges from urban and industrial sources can impact water quality and lead to eutrophication in coastal areas. The plant's treatment performance is therefore important for maintaining the ecological balance of the downstream watershed.
