Overview
Jiangxi wastewater treatment plant serves Xingguo County in Jiangxi, China, with a population of 140,000. It operates under China's national wastewater standards for urban agglomerations.
The Jiangxi wastewater treatment plant is located in Xingguo County, Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 140,000, classifying it as a medium-to-large urban agglomeration under Chinese wastewater management frameworks. As a plant of this scale, it is expected to meet China's Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002), which mandates secondary treatment with nutrient removal for sensitive water bodies. Regulatory requirements for this population tier typically include biological treatment and disinfection. The plant discharges into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Gan River system, a major tributary of the Yangtze River. The receiving water body supports agricultural irrigation and aquatic ecosystems in the region. Proper treatment is critical to prevent eutrophication and protect downstream water quality in the Yangtze basin.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent flows into the Gan River, which is part of the larger Yangtze River basin. The Gan River supports diverse aquatic life and provides water for irrigation and municipal use downstream. The region's subtropical climate and agricultural activity make nutrient removal important to prevent algal blooms and maintain ecological balance in the river system.
