Overview
Jiangxi wastewater treatment plant serves Fenyi Town in Jiangxi Province, China, with a population equivalent of 80,000. It operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards.
The Jiangxi wastewater treatment plant is located in Fenyi Town, Fenyi County, Xinyu City, Jiangxi Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 80,000 people, placing it in the medium 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, nutrients, and pathogens. For plants serving populations of this scale, secondary biological 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 Yangtze River basin via the Gan River system. This watershed supports diverse aquatic ecosystems and provides water for agricultural and industrial use downstream. Proper treatment helps protect water quality in the region's rivers and lakes.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the local river network within the Gan River basin, a major tributary of the Yangtze River. The downstream environment includes freshwater ecosystems that support fish populations and provide irrigation water. Effective nutrient removal is critical to prevent eutrophication in downstream lakes and reservoirs, which are important for regional water supply and biodiversity.
