Overview
Shaanxi wastewater treatment plant serves Jintai District, Baoji, Shaanxi, China, with a population equivalent of 1,000,000. The facility operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards.
The Shaanxi wastewater treatment plant is located in Jintai District, Baoji City, Shaanxi Province, China. It serves a population equivalent of 1,000,000, classifying it as a large-scale municipal treatment facility within the region. Under China's national wastewater discharge standards (GB 18918-2002), large agglomerations are typically required to achieve at least secondary treatment with nutrient removal, especially in sensitive water basins. Regulatory compliance is expected for facilities of this scale. The plant discharges treated effluent into local water bodies that ultimately drain into the Wei River, a major tributary of the Yellow River. The downstream environment supports agricultural irrigation and aquatic ecosystems, making effective treatment critical for water quality in the Yellow River basin.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent flows into the Wei River system, which joins the Yellow River downstream. The Yellow River basin is ecologically sensitive, supporting diverse aquatic life and providing water for agriculture and industry. Effective wastewater treatment is essential to prevent eutrophication and protect downstream water quality in this heavily utilized river system.
