Overview
Liaoning wastewater treatment plant serves Dalian, Liaoning, China, with a population of 270,000. It has a designed capacity of 1.00 unit and is located within 50 km of the coast.
The Liaoning wastewater treatment plant is located in Dalian, a major port city in Liaoning Province, China. It serves an estimated population of 270,000, placing it in the category of a medium-to-large urban agglomeration. The plant's designed capacity is 1. As a facility in China, the plant operates under national wastewater discharge standards, which are enforced by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment. For plants serving populations over 100,000, Chinese regulations typically require advanced treatment to meet Class 1A or 1B standards, especially in environmentally sensitive areas. The plant's proximity to the coast suggests it may be subject to stricter discharge limits to protect marine waters. The plant's treated effluent likely discharges into the Yellow Sea via local waterways, as Dalian is situated on the Liaodong Peninsula. The receiving environment supports diverse marine life and is important for local fisheries. Proper treatment is essential to prevent eutrophication and protect coastal ecosystems in this densely populated region.
Environmental context
The plant is located in Dalian, a coastal city on the Liaodong Peninsula, with discharge likely entering the Yellow Sea. The Yellow Sea is a semi-enclosed marginal sea that supports rich biodiversity, including migratory birds and commercial fish species. As a coastal facility, the plant's effluent must meet stringent standards to avoid nutrient loading and algal blooms in this ecologically sensitive marine environment.
