Overview
Jilin wastewater treatment plant serves Fengman District, Jilin City, China, with a population equivalent of 79,600. The plant operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards.
The Jilin wastewater treatment plant is located in Fengman District, Jilin City, Jilin Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 79,600, placing it in the medium-sized agglomeration category for Chinese municipal wastewater infrastructure. The plant is situated in the urban area of Jilin City, a major industrial and residential center in northeastern China. Under China's national wastewater discharge standards (GB 18918-2002), treatment plants serving populations of this scale are typically required to achieve at least secondary treatment, with stricter limits for sensitive water bodies. The plant's discharge is regulated by local environmental protection bureaus, which issue permits and monitor compliance with effluent quality standards. The treated effluent from the plant likely discharges into the Songhua River basin, which flows through Jilin City and ultimately reaches the Sea of Japan via the Tumen River or Amur River systems. The Songhua River supports diverse aquatic life and provides water for agriculture and industry downstream. Proper treatment is essential to protect water quality in this ecologically important river system.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Songhua River basin, a major waterway in northeastern China that flows through Jilin City and eventually drains into the Sea of Japan. The river supports a variety of fish species and is used for irrigation and drinking water supply downstream. Effective wastewater treatment is critical to prevent eutrophication and protect aquatic habitats in this region.
