Overview
Jilin wastewater treatment plant serves Luyuan District, Changchun, Jilin, China, with a population equivalent of 600,000. It operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards.
The Jilin wastewater treatment plant is located in Luyuan District, Changchun, Jilin Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 600,000, classifying it as a large-scale municipal facility within the region. As a major agglomeration, the plant is expected to meet China's Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002), which mandates secondary treatment with nutrient removal for sensitive water bodies. The facility likely employs biological treatment processes such as activated sludge or A2O to comply with these standards. The treated effluent is discharged into the local water system, ultimately flowing into the Songhua River basin, which drains into the Sea of Japan. The plant plays a critical role in protecting the Songhua River from untreated sewage, supporting aquatic life and downstream water quality.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Songhua River basin, a major waterway in Northeast China that flows through Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces before reaching the Sea of Japan. The river supports diverse aquatic ecosystems and is a vital water source for agriculture and industry. Effective treatment at this plant helps prevent eutrophication and contamination in the downstream environment.
