Overview
Jilin wastewater treatment plant serves approximately 200,000 people in Jilin City, Jilin Province, China. The facility operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards.
The Jilin wastewater treatment plant is located in Jilin City, Jilin Province, China, serving a population of approximately 200,000. The plant is situated in the urban area of Jilin City, a major industrial and transportation hub in northeastern China. As a medium-to-large agglomeration, the plant is expected to meet China's Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002), which sets limits for key pollutants such as COD, BOD, ammonia nitrogen, and phosphorus. For plants serving over 100,000 people, the standard typically requires advanced treatment to achieve Class 1-A effluent quality, especially in environmentally sensitive areas. The treated wastewater from the plant is discharged into the local water system, which eventually flows into the Songhua River, a major tributary of the Amur River basin. The Songhua River supports diverse aquatic life and provides water for agriculture and industry downstream. Proper treatment is critical to protect water quality in this important regional watershed.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Songhua River basin, which flows through Jilin Province and eventually into the Amur River and the Sea of Okhotsk. The river supports a variety of fish species and is an important water source for downstream communities. The region experiences cold winters, which can affect treatment efficiency and require robust operational management.
