Shaanxi Wastewater Treatment Plant, Baoji, Shaanxi Province, China

The Shaanxi wastewater treatment plant is located in Chengguan Town, Fufeng County, within the city of Baoji, Shaanxi Province, China. The facility serves a population of approximately 80,000 people, making it a medium-sized municipal treatment plant in the region. Under China's national wastewater discharge standards, plants serving communities of this scale are typically required to meet Class 1A or 1B effluent limits, which mandate biological treatment with nutrient removal. The plant operates within the regulatory framework of China's Water Pollution Prevention and Control Law, which sets strict discharge standards for municipal wastewater. The treated effluent from the plant is discharged into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Wei River, a major tributary of the Yellow River. The Wei River basin supports agricultural irrigation and provides water for downstream communities, making effective wastewater treatment critical for protecting water quality and aquatic ecosystems in the region.

The plant discharges into local streams that flow into the Wei River, a major tributary of the Yellow River. The Wei River basin is an important agricultural region, and its waters are used for irrigation and as a drinking water source downstream. Effective treatment helps reduce nutrient and pollutant loads, protecting aquatic life and supporting the ecological health of the Yellow River system.
