Overview
Liaoning wastewater treatment plant serves 146,000 people in Shenbei New District, Liaoning, China. It operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards.
The Liaoning wastewater treatment plant is located in Shenbei New District, Liaoning Province, China, serving a population of approximately 146,000. As a municipal facility in a rapidly urbanizing region, it plays a key role in managing domestic wastewater from this northern Chinese city. The plant operates under China's Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002), which sets effluent limits for conventional pollutants and nutrients. For a plant serving over 100,000 people, Class I-A or I-B standards typically apply, requiring biological treatment with nutrient removal. The plant's treated effluent likely discharges into a local waterway within the Liao River basin, which flows into the Bohai Sea. The Liao River system supports agricultural irrigation and industrial water use downstream, making effective wastewater treatment critical for protecting water quality and aquatic ecosystems in the region.
Environmental context
The plant is situated in the Liao River basin, a major watershed in northeastern China that drains into the Bohai Sea. The Liao River and its tributaries provide water for agriculture, industry, and municipal use, and are ecologically important for fish and migratory birds. Proper treatment helps reduce nutrient and pollutant loads that could otherwise contribute to eutrophication in the Bohai Sea.
