Overview
The Shaanxi wastewater treatment plant serves Linyou County, Shaanxi, China, with a population equivalent of 10,600. It operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards.
The Shaanxi wastewater treatment plant is located in Linyou County, Shaanxi Province, China, serving a population of approximately 10,600. The facility is situated inland, away from coastal areas, and its operations are part of the regional water management infrastructure for the county. As a plant serving a medium-sized agglomeration, it is expected to comply with China's Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002), which sets effluent limits based on receiving water sensitivity. Plants of this scale typically employ secondary biological treatment to meet national standards. The treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies that ultimately drain into the Yellow River basin, a major river system in northern China. The plant plays a key role in protecting downstream water quality and supporting the ecological health of the region's rivers and agricultural areas.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into local waterways that are part of the Yellow River basin, one of China's most important river systems. The Yellow River supports extensive agriculture and provides water for millions of people. The plant's operations help reduce nutrient and pollutant loads, protecting downstream ecosystems and water quality in this semi-arid region.
