Overview
Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant serves Funing County, Yancheng, Jiangsu, China, with a population of 230,000. It operates under China's national wastewater standards.
The Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant is located in Funing County, Yancheng, Jiangsu Province, China, along S328 Provincial Road. It serves a population of approximately 230,000, classifying it as a large agglomeration under Chinese wastewater management frameworks. As a facility serving over 200,000 people, the plant is expected to meet stringent discharge standards under China's Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002). This standard typically requires secondary treatment with nutrient removal for plants of this scale, especially in sensitive water environments. The plant discharges into the local water system within the Huai River basin, which ultimately drains into the Yellow Sea. The downstream environment supports diverse aquatic life and is important for regional water quality, particularly in the context of rapid urbanization and industrial activity in Jiangsu Province.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent enters the local river network within the Huai River basin, which flows eastward into the Yellow Sea. This coastal region supports important fisheries and migratory bird habitats. The watershed is under pressure from agricultural runoff and industrial discharges, making effective wastewater treatment critical for maintaining downstream water quality and ecosystem health.
