Overview
The Liaoning wastewater treatment plant serves Shuiquan Town in Liaoning Province, China, with a population of 61,000. It operates under China's national wastewater standards.
The Liaoning wastewater treatment plant is located in Shuiquan Town, Taiping District, Liaoning Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 61,000 people, classifying it as a medium-sized municipal facility within the region. The plant is situated inland, away from coastal areas, and its operations are part of the broader water management infrastructure in Liaoning Province. As a Chinese wastewater treatment facility, the plant is subject to the national Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002). This standard sets effluent limits for various pollutants and requires treatment levels appropriate to the receiving water environment. For a plant serving 61,000 people, secondary treatment with nutrient removal is typically expected to meet Class 1-A or 1-B standards, depending on local requirements. The treated effluent from the plant is discharged into local waterways that eventually drain into the Bohai Sea via the Liao River system. The plant plays a crucial role in protecting downstream aquatic ecosystems and maintaining water quality in the region. Its operation helps reduce pollution loads from urban runoff and domestic wastewater, supporting the ecological health of the Liao River basin.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Liao River system, which flows through Liaoning Province and empties into the Bohai Sea. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is an important water resource for agriculture and industry. The Bohai Sea is a semi-enclosed sea with limited water exchange, making it sensitive to nutrient pollution from upstream sources. The plant's treatment performance directly affects the ecological health of downstream rivers and coastal waters.
