Overview
Liaoning wastewater treatment plant serves 240,000 people in Shuangtaizi District, Panjin, Liaoning Province, China. The facility is located inland, over 50 km from the coast, and discharges into local water bodies.
The Liaoning wastewater treatment plant is situated in Shuangtaizi District, Panjin City, Liaoning Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 240,000, classifying it as a large agglomeration under Chinese wastewater management standards. The facility is located inland, more than 50 kilometers from the coast, and its operations are part of the municipal infrastructure for the region. Under China's national wastewater regulations, plants serving over 100,000 people are typically required to achieve secondary treatment or higher, with nutrient removal in sensitive areas. The plant's designed capacity is 1. The facility operates within the framework of China's Water Pollution Prevention and Control Law, which mandates discharge standards for municipal wastewater. The treated effluent from the plant likely discharges into local rivers or streams that flow into the Liao River system, ultimately reaching the Bohai Sea. The Liao River basin supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor in northeastern China. The plant's operations help protect downstream water quality and reduce pollution loads to the marine environment.
Environmental context
The plant's treated wastewater likely enters local waterways within the Liao River basin, which drains into the Bohai Sea. The Liao River system supports a variety of freshwater species and provides habitat for migratory birds. Downstream, the Bohai Sea is a semi-enclosed marginal sea with significant ecological importance, including fisheries and marine biodiversity. The plant's discharge contributes to the overall water quality management in this watershed.
