The Liaoning wastewater treatment plant is located in Hou'an Town, Fushun County, Liaoning Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 35,000 residents, making it a medium-sized municipal facility in the region. The plant operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards, which require secondary treatment for urban agglomerations of this scale. The plant provides secondary treatment, a standard biological process that removes organic matter and suspended solids. Secondary treatment is the minimum requirement under Chinese regulations for plants serving communities of this size. The treated effluent is discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Liao River basin. The Liao River is a major waterway in Northeast China, flowing into the Bohai Sea. The plant's operation helps protect downstream water quality and supports the ecological health of the river system, which is important for agriculture and aquatic life in the region.

The plant discharges into the Liao River basin, a significant watershed in Northeast China that flows into the Bohai Sea. The Liao River supports diverse aquatic ecosystems and is used for irrigation and industrial water supply. Downstream areas include wetlands and coastal zones that are ecologically sensitive, requiring effective wastewater treatment to prevent eutrophication and protect biodiversity.
