Overview
Jiangxi wastewater treatment plant serves Ji'an, Jiangxi, China, with a population of 160,000. It operates under China's national wastewater standards, ensuring treated effluent meets environmental requirements.
Jiangxi wastewater treatment plant is located in Ji'an, Jiangxi Province, China, serving a population of approximately 160,000. The facility is situated in the Gan River basin, a major tributary of the Yangtze River, and plays a key role in managing municipal wastewater for the region. As a plant serving a medium-to-large agglomeration, it is expected to comply with 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. The plant's design and operation align with national policies aimed at reducing pollution in the Yangtze River basin. The treated effluent is discharged into local waterways that flow into the Gan River, eventually reaching Poyang Lake, China's largest freshwater lake, and then the Yangtze River. This connection underscores the plant's importance in protecting downstream aquatic ecosystems and supporting water quality in a densely populated region.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Gan River system, which flows into Poyang Lake, a critical wetland that supports diverse aquatic life and migratory birds. The lake is a key component of the Yangtze River basin, providing flood control and water purification. Protecting this watershed is vital for regional ecological balance and water security.
