Overview
The Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant serves Feng County in Jiangsu Province, China, with a population equivalent of 150,000. It operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards.
The Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant is located in Feng County, Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province, China. It serves a population equivalent of 150,000, classifying it as a medium-to-large agglomeration under Chinese wastewater management frameworks. The plant is situated in an inland area, more than 50 km from the coast, and its operations are subject to China's Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002). As a facility serving 150,000 people, the plant is expected to meet secondary or advanced treatment standards under Chinese regulations, which mandate nutrient removal for plants in sensitive watersheds. The plant's scale suggests it likely incorporates biological treatment stages to comply with national effluent limits. The plant discharges treated wastewater into local water bodies that ultimately drain into the Huai River basin, a major watershed in eastern China. The Huai River flows eastward into the Yellow Sea, supporting agricultural irrigation and aquatic ecosystems. The plant plays a key role in protecting downstream water quality and public health in the region.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent enters local waterways that are part of the Huai River basin, which drains into the Yellow Sea. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is used for irrigation and fishing. The region experiences seasonal flooding, making proper wastewater treatment critical to prevent nutrient pollution and algal blooms in downstream lakes and coastal areas.
