Overview
The Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant serves Baoying County in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province, China. It treats wastewater from a population of 200,000, operating under China's national wastewater standards.
The Jiangsu wastewater treatment plant is located in Baoying County, Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province, China. It serves a population of 200,000, classifying it as a medium-to-large agglomeration under Chinese municipal wastewater management. The plant is situated inland, approximately 33.232°N, 119.336°E, in the Yangtze River Delta region. The plant operates under China's Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002). For plants serving populations of this scale, secondary treatment with nutrient removal is typically required, especially in sensitive water bodies. The designed capacity is 1.00 (likely in 10,000 m³/d), indicating a substantial treatment capability. The plant discharges treated effluent into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Yangtze River and then the East China Sea. This region is ecologically significant, supporting diverse aquatic life and serving as a critical water resource for agriculture and industry. Proper treatment helps protect downstream water quality and aquatic habitats.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent flows into tributaries of the Yangtze River, which empties into the East China Sea. The Yangtze River basin is one of the world's most biodiverse freshwater ecosystems, supporting numerous fish species and migratory birds. Downstream waters are used for irrigation, drinking water, and fisheries, making effective wastewater treatment essential for maintaining water quality and ecological balance.
