The Shaanxi wastewater treatment plant is located in Fuping County, Weinan City, Shaanxi Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 48,400 people, placing it in the medium-scale category for municipal wastewater treatment in the region. As a plant in China, it is subject to the national Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002), which sets effluent limits for various pollutants. For a plant of this size, secondary treatment with nutrient removal is typically required to meet the standards, especially if discharging into sensitive water bodies. The plant's treated effluent likely discharges into a local river or stream within the Wei River basin, which ultimately flows into the Yellow River. The Yellow River is a major waterway in northern China, supporting agriculture, industry, and ecosystems. Proper treatment is essential to protect downstream water quality and aquatic life.
Environmental context
The plant is located inland in the Wei River basin, a tributary of the Yellow River. The Yellow River is a critical water resource for northern China, but it faces challenges from pollution and water scarcity. The plant's discharge contributes to the river's flow and must meet standards to prevent eutrophication and protect aquatic habitats. The region experiences a semi-arid climate, making water quality management particularly important for downstream uses.
