Overview
Jiangxi wastewater treatment plant serves Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, China, with a population equivalent of 1,050,000. The plant operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards.
The Jiangxi wastewater treatment plant is located in Nanchang, the capital of Jiangxi Province, China. It serves a large urban agglomeration with a population equivalent of 1,050,000, making it a significant facility in the region's wastewater infrastructure. The plant is situated in the Honggutan District, near the Gan River, a major tributary of the Yangtze River. As a large-scale plant in China, it is subject to the Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002), which sets stringent limits on effluent quality. The plant's designed capacity is 1.00 million cubic meters per day, indicating a substantial treatment capability. Typical large plants in China employ biological treatment with nutrient removal to meet Class 1A or 1B standards. The treated effluent is discharged into the Gan River, which flows into Poyang Lake, China's largest freshwater lake, and eventually into the Yangtze River. This water body supports diverse aquatic life and is critical for regional water supply and fisheries. The plant's operation helps protect the ecological health of the Gan River and downstream environments.
