Overview
Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant serves Quanshan District, Xuzhou, Jiangsu, China, with a population of 1,150,000. It operates under China's national wastewater standards for large agglomerations.
The Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant is located in Quanshan District, Xuzhou, within Jiangsu Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 1,150,000, classifying it as a large-scale municipal facility. The plant is situated in an urban area near the Sanhuan East Road, reflecting its role in managing wastewater from a densely populated region. As a large agglomeration in China, the plant is expected to comply with the national Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002), which mandates secondary treatment and, for sensitive areas, tertiary treatment. The plant discharges treated wastewater into local water bodies that ultimately drain into the Huai River basin, a major river system in eastern China. This basin supports extensive agricultural and industrial activities, making effective wastewater treatment critical for protecting downstream water quality and aquatic ecosystems.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent flows into the Huai River basin, which drains into the Yellow Sea via the Yangtze River estuary. The Huai River watershed is ecologically significant, supporting diverse aquatic life and providing water for irrigation and industry. Effective treatment is essential to prevent eutrophication and protect downstream habitats, including wetlands and fisheries.
