Overview
Jiangxi wastewater treatment plant serves Guangchang County in Jiangxi Province, China, with a population of 82,000. The facility operates under China's national wastewater regulations for medium-sized agglomerations.
The Jiangxi wastewater treatment plant is located in Guangchang County, Jiangxi Province, China, serving a population of approximately 82,000 people. Situated in the southern part of the province, the plant is part of the municipal infrastructure for this inland county. As a medium-sized agglomeration, the plant is expected to meet secondary treatment standards under China's Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002). This regulation sets effluent limits for organic matter, suspended solids, and nutrients, with more stringent requirements for plants discharging into sensitive water bodies. The plant's treated effluent likely discharges into a local river within the Yangtze River basin, which ultimately flows into the East China Sea. The surrounding region features hilly terrain and a subtropical monsoon climate, with agriculture and small-scale industries contributing to the local economy.
Environmental context
The plant's receiving water body is likely a tributary of the Fu River or Gan River, part of the larger Yangtze River basin. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and provides water for irrigation and domestic use downstream. The effluent eventually reaches Poyang Lake, China's largest freshwater lake, and then the East China Sea, making nutrient control important for preventing eutrophication in downstream waters.
