Overview
Shaanxi wastewater treatment plant serves Chencang District, Baoji, Shaanxi, China, with a population of 300,000. It operates under China's national wastewater regulations.
The Shaanxi wastewater treatment plant is located in Chencang District, Baoji, Shaanxi Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 300,000, classifying it as a large-scale municipal facility within the region. As a plant of this scale in China, it is expected to comply with the national Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002), which mandates secondary treatment as a minimum and often requires advanced treatment for sensitive water bodies. Typical facilities of this size employ activated sludge processes with nutrient removal. The plant discharges treated effluent into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Yellow River basin, a major river system in northern China. The downstream environment supports agricultural irrigation and aquatic ecosystems, making effective treatment critical for water quality and ecological health.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent flows into tributaries of the Wei River, which joins the Yellow River downstream. The Yellow River basin is a vital water source for agriculture and industry in northern China, and its ecological health is sensitive to nutrient pollution and industrial contaminants. The plant's operation helps protect downstream water quality in this densely populated and agriculturally intensive region.
