Overview
Liaoning wastewater treatment plant serves Chaoyang, Liaoning, China, with a population of 330,000. It is located inland near the Daling River basin.
The Liaoning wastewater treatment plant is situated in Liucheng Town, Chaoyang County, Chaoyang City, Liaoning Province, China. It serves an estimated population of 330,000, classifying it as a large agglomeration under Chinese wastewater management standards. As a large-scale municipal facility, the plant is expected to meet national discharge standards under China's Water Pollution Prevention and Control Law. Chinese regulations typically require secondary or advanced treatment for plants serving over 100,000 people, with nutrient removal in sensitive watersheds. The plant discharges into the local watershed, which drains into the Daling River system. This river flows through Liaoning Province and eventually reaches the Bohai Sea. The receiving waters support agricultural irrigation and aquatic ecosystems, making effective treatment essential for downstream water quality.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent enters the Daling River basin, a major watercourse in western Liaoning that flows southeast into the Bohai Sea. The river supports local agriculture and fisheries, and its water quality is critical for both human use and ecological health. The region experiences a temperate continental climate with seasonal precipitation, influencing runoff and dilution capacity.
