Overview
Jiangxi wastewater treatment plant serves approximately 53,000 people in Yongxin County, Ji'an City, Jiangxi Province, China. It operates under China's national wastewater standards for inland facilities.
The Jiangxi wastewater treatment plant is located in Yongxin County, within Ji'an City, Jiangxi Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 53,000, placing it in the medium-sized agglomeration category for Chinese municipal wastewater infrastructure. As a facility in China, the plant is subject to the Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002), which sets effluent limits for conventional pollutants and nutrients. For plants serving populations around 50,000, secondary treatment with nutrient removal is typically required to meet Class 1-A or 1-B standards, depending on the receiving water's sensitivity. The plant discharges treated effluent into local waterways within the Gan River basin, which flows into Poyang Lake and ultimately the Yangtze River. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and provides water for agriculture and fisheries downstream. Proper treatment is essential to protect water quality in this ecologically significant region.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent enters the local tributary network of the Gan River, a major tributary of Poyang Lake, China's largest freshwater lake. Poyang Lake is a critical wetland habitat for migratory birds and supports a rich ecosystem. The Gan River basin is heavily used for irrigation and fishing, making nutrient and pollutant control vital for maintaining downstream water quality and ecological balance.
