Overview
Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant serves Feng County, Xuzhou, Jiangsu, China, with a population of 24,000. It operates under China's national wastewater standards.
The Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant is located in Feng County, Xuzhou, within Jiangsu Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 24,000 people, placing it in the small-to-medium agglomeration category. The plant is an inland facility, situated away from coastal areas, and its operations are part of the regional water management infrastructure for the Huai River basin. As a Chinese wastewater treatment facility, it operates under the national Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002), which sets effluent limits for various pollutants. For plants serving populations around 24,000, secondary treatment with nutrient removal is typically required to meet Class 1-A or 1-B standards, depending on the receiving water body's sensitivity. The regulatory framework ensures compliance with environmental protection goals. The treated effluent is discharged into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Huai River system, which flows eastward into the Yellow Sea. The Huai River basin supports diverse aquatic life and provides water for agriculture and industry. The plant plays a key role in protecting downstream water quality and reducing pollution loads in this densely populated region.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Huai River basin, which flows through eastern China and empties into the Yellow Sea. This watershed supports extensive agricultural irrigation and is ecologically important for fish and migratory birds. The region faces challenges from industrial and agricultural runoff, making the plant's nutrient removal critical for preventing eutrophication in downstream lakes and coastal waters.
