Overview
Jiangxi wastewater treatment plant serves Longnan City in Jiangxi Province, China, with a population of 61,000. It operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards.
The Jiangxi wastewater treatment plant is located in Longnan City, within Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 61,000 people, classifying it as a medium-sized municipal facility. The plant is situated in the southern part of Jiangxi, a region characterized by hilly terrain and a subtropical monsoon climate. As a Chinese wastewater treatment facility, the plant is subject to the Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (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 1A or 1B standards, depending on the receiving water body's sensitivity. The treated effluent from the plant is discharged into local waterways that eventually flow into the Gan River, a major tributary of the Yangtze River. The Gan River basin supports diverse aquatic life and provides water for agriculture and industry downstream. The plant plays a crucial role in protecting water quality in this ecologically important watershed.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Gan River system, which flows northward through Jiangxi Province and joins the Yangtze River at Poyang Lake, China's largest freshwater lake. The Gan River basin supports rich biodiversity, including migratory fish species and aquatic plants. Downstream, Poyang Lake is a critical wetland for waterfowl and migratory birds, making nutrient and pollutant control essential for maintaining ecological balance.
