Overview
Shaanxi wastewater treatment plant serves Tongguan County in Shaanxi Province, China, with a population of 26,800. The facility operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards.
The Shaanxi wastewater treatment plant is located in Tongguan County, Shaanxi Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 26,800 residents in the urban area of the county. The plant is part of the municipal wastewater infrastructure for the region. As a medium-sized agglomeration, the plant is expected to meet China's Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002), which mandates secondary treatment with nutrient removal for plants of this scale. The plant discharges treated effluent into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Yellow River basin. The receiving water body supports agricultural and ecological functions in the region. Proper treatment helps protect downstream water quality and aquatic habitats in the Yellow River system.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent flows into tributaries of the Yellow River, one of China's major river systems. The Yellow River basin supports diverse aquatic life and provides water for irrigation and domestic use. The plant's location in the inland Loess Plateau region means that discharge quality is critical for maintaining downstream ecological balance and preventing eutrophication in receiving waters.
