Overview
Liaoning wastewater treatment plant serves Zhao Jia Wo Pu in Fuxin, Liaoning, China. The facility handles a population of 26,000 and operates under China's national wastewater standards.
The Liaoning wastewater treatment plant is located in Zhao Jia Wo Pu, a locality within the Qinghemen District of Fuxin City, Liaoning Province, China. The facility serves a population of approximately 26,000 people, placing it in the medium-scale category for Chinese municipal wastewater infrastructure. Its location in northeastern China places it within a region characterized by continental monsoon climate and significant industrial activity. As a Chinese municipal wastewater treatment plant, the facility operates under the national Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002), which sets effluent quality requirements based on the receiving water body's sensitivity. For plants serving populations between 10,000 and 100,000, secondary treatment with nutrient removal is typically required to meet Class 1-A or 1-B standards, depending on local environmental regulations. The treated effluent from the plant is discharged into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Liao River basin, one of China's major river systems flowing into the Bohai Sea. The Liao River basin supports diverse aquatic life and provides water for agriculture and industry. The plant's operation contributes to protecting downstream water quality in this ecologically and economically important watershed.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Liao River basin, which flows through Liaoning Province and empties into the Bohai Sea. The Liao River and its tributaries support a variety of freshwater species and provide critical habitat for migratory birds. Downstream, the Bohai Sea is a semi-enclosed marginal sea that receives nutrient inputs from multiple rivers, making wastewater treatment crucial for controlling eutrophication and maintaining marine ecosystem health.
