Overview
Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant serves Shuyang County in Jiangsu Province, China, with a population of 30,000. It operates under China's national wastewater standards.
Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant is located in Shuyang County, Jiangsu Province, China, serving a population of approximately 30,000. The facility is part of the municipal infrastructure for the city of Shuyang, situated in the northern part of Jiangsu. As a medium-sized agglomeration, the plant plays a key role in managing local wastewater. China's wastewater treatment regulations require secondary treatment for urban plants, with stricter standards for sensitive water bodies. The plant likely employs conventional treatment processes such as activated sludge or similar biological methods to meet national discharge limits. The population served suggests a moderate-scale facility. The treated effluent is discharged into local waterways that eventually flow into the Huai River basin, which drains into the Yellow Sea. The plant helps protect downstream aquatic ecosystems and supports water quality in the region's dense network of rivers and canals.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Huai River basin, a major watershed in eastern China that flows into the Yellow Sea. The region supports diverse aquatic life and is important for agriculture and fisheries. Proper treatment is essential to prevent eutrophication and protect downstream water quality.
