Overview
The Shaanxi wastewater treatment plant serves Binzhou, Xianyang, Shaanxi, China, with a population of 62,200. It operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards.
The Shaanxi wastewater treatment plant is located in Binzhou, a county-level city under Xianyang, Shaanxi Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 62,200, classifying it as a medium-sized municipal facility within the region's wastewater infrastructure. As a Chinese wastewater treatment plant, it is subject to the Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002), which sets effluent limits based on the receiving water body's sensitivity. For plants serving populations over 50,000, secondary treatment with nutrient removal is typically required to meet Class 1-A or 1-B standards, especially if discharging into sensitive water bodies. The plant's treated effluent likely discharges into a local river within the Wei River basin, which flows into the Yellow River. The Yellow River is a major water source for northern China and supports diverse aquatic life, making proper treatment essential for downstream ecological health and water quality.
Environmental context
The plant is located inland in Shaanxi Province, within the Wei River basin. The Wei River is a major tributary of the Yellow River, which ultimately flows into the Bohai Sea. The Yellow River basin supports important aquatic ecosystems and provides water for agriculture and domestic use. Effective wastewater treatment is critical to prevent eutrophication and protect water quality in this ecologically sensitive region.
