Jiangsu Wastewater Treatment Plant, Dafeng District, Yancheng, Jiangsu, China

The Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant is located in Dafeng District, Yancheng, Jiangsu Province, China, serving a population of approximately 10,000. The plant has a designed capacity of 1.00 (unit unspecified), indicating it is a small-scale facility typical of smaller urban or peri-urban agglomerations in the region. As a plant in China, it operates under national wastewater discharge standards (GB 18918-2002) and local environmental regulations. For a facility of this size, secondary treatment is generally required, and compliance with effluent standards is enforced by provincial environmental authorities. Typical processes for such plants include activated sludge or sequencing batch reactors. The plant discharges treated effluent into local water bodies that eventually drain into the Yellow Sea via the Yangtze River Delta or coastal rivers. The region is part of the Jiangsu coastal plain, an ecologically sensitive area supporting fisheries and migratory bird habitats. Proper treatment is essential to protect downstream water quality and marine ecosystems.

The plant is located inland in Jiangsu Province, approximately 50 km from the coast. Treated effluent likely discharges into local rivers or canals that flow into the Yellow Sea. The downstream environment includes the Yangtze River Delta, a major ecological zone supporting diverse aquatic life and migratory birds. Nutrient and pollutant control is critical to prevent eutrophication in coastal waters.
