Overview
Liaoning wastewater treatment plant serves Dengta City in Liaoning Province, China, with a population equivalent of 100,000. The facility operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards.
The Liaoning wastewater treatment plant is located in Wanbaoqiao Street, Dengta City, Liaoning Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 100,000, classifying it as a medium-to-large agglomeration under Chinese wastewater management frameworks. The plant is situated inland, away from coastal areas, and its treated effluent likely discharges into local rivers that flow through the Liao River basin. As a facility serving 100,000 people, the plant is expected to meet China's Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002), which mandates secondary treatment with nutrient removal for plants of this scale. The regulatory framework also requires compliance with Class 1A or 1B standards depending on the receiving water body's sensitivity. The plant's design capacity and operational status align with typical municipal infrastructure in Liaoning Province. The plant's receiving water body is part of the Liao River system, which ultimately drains into the Bohai Sea. The Liao River basin supports diverse aquatic life and is an important agricultural and industrial region. Proper treatment at this plant helps protect downstream water quality and the ecological health of the Bohai Sea coastal zone.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Liao River basin, which flows through Liaoning Province and empties into the Bohai Sea. This watershed supports a mix of urban, agricultural, and industrial activities, and the river's health is critical for local fisheries and biodiversity. The Bohai Sea is a semi-enclosed water body with limited water exchange, making it sensitive to nutrient pollution from upstream sources. Effective wastewater treatment at this plant helps reduce the risk of eutrophication and protects the marine ecosystem.
