Overview
Jiangxi wastewater treatment plant serves Dingnan County in Jiangxi Province, China, treating wastewater for approximately 62,500 people. The facility operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards.
The Jiangxi wastewater treatment plant is located in Dingnan County, Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 62,500 people, classifying it as a medium-sized municipal treatment facility in the region. As a Chinese wastewater treatment plant, it operates under the national Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002), which sets effluent limits for various pollutants. For a plant serving this population size, secondary treatment with nutrient removal is typically required to meet Class 1-A or 1-B standards, depending on the receiving water body's sensitivity. The plant's treated effluent is discharged into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Pearl River basin, which flows through southern China into the South China Sea. The Pearl River system supports diverse aquatic life and provides water for agriculture, industry, and drinking water for millions of people downstream.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into local tributaries of the Pearl River system, which flows through Guangdong Province and into the South China Sea near Guangzhou. The Pearl River basin is ecologically significant, supporting diverse fish species and providing critical habitat for migratory birds. Downstream waters are used for irrigation, aquaculture, and as a drinking water source for major urban centers.
