Overview
Jiangxi wastewater treatment plant serves Xihu District, Nanchang, Jiangxi, China, with a designed capacity of 1.00 and a population served of 350,000. It operates under China's national wastewater regulations.
The Jiangxi wastewater treatment plant is located in Xihu District, Nanchang, in Jiangxi Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 350,000, classifying it as a large agglomeration under Chinese wastewater management standards. The plant's designed capacity is 1. As a large-scale municipal facility in China, the plant is subject to the national Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002), which sets effluent limits for conventional pollutants, nutrients, and pathogens. Plants serving populations over 100,000 typically require advanced treatment to meet stricter discharge standards, especially in environmentally sensitive areas. The plant discharges treated wastewater into the local water system, which ultimately drains into Poyang Lake, China's largest freshwater lake, and then into the Yangtze River. This downstream connection highlights the plant's role in protecting water quality in a major ecological and economic region, supporting aquatic biodiversity and downstream water uses.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent flows into the Gan River system, which feeds into Poyang Lake, a critical wetland ecosystem that supports migratory birds and diverse aquatic life. Poyang Lake connects to the Yangtze River, a vital waterway for millions of people. The plant's discharge quality directly affects the ecological health of these water bodies, particularly nutrient loading and pathogen control.
Frequently asked questions
The plant is located in Xihu District, Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, China, at Yunfei Road in the Longtaiyuan community area.
The plant serves approximately 350,000 people, classifying it as a large municipal wastewater treatment facility.
Treated wastewater from the plant is discharged into the local water system, which flows into the Gan River and eventually into Poyang Lake and the Yangtze River.
The plant operates under China's national standard GB 18918-2002, which sets discharge limits for pollutants. Large plants like this typically require advanced treatment to meet these standards.
For large agglomerations in China, secondary treatment with nutrient removal is standard, and advanced treatment (tertiary) is often required to meet strict effluent limits, especially in sensitive watersheds.
