Overview
Jiangxi wastewater treatment plant serves Jinxi County in Jiangxi Province, China, with a population equivalent of 65,800. It operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards.
The Jiangxi wastewater treatment plant is located in Jinxi County, Jiangxi Province, China, within the Jinxi Industrial Park. It serves a population equivalent of approximately 65,800, placing it in the medium-sized agglomeration category for Chinese municipal wastewater infrastructure. As a plant in China, it operates under the national Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002), which sets effluent limits for conventional pollutants, nutrients, and pathogens. For plants of this scale, secondary biological treatment with nutrient removal is typically required to meet Class 1-A or 1-B standards, depending on the receiving water's sensitivity. The treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies within the Xin River basin, which flows into Poyang Lake, China's largest freshwater lake, and ultimately into the Yangtze River. The plant plays a key role in protecting downstream aquatic ecosystems and supporting water quality in this densely populated region.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Xin River basin, a tributary of Poyang Lake, which is a critical wetland ecosystem supporting diverse aquatic life and migratory birds. Poyang Lake connects to the Yangtze River, one of the world's major river systems. The region's water quality is vital for fisheries, agriculture, and drinking water supplies downstream.
