Overview
Shaanxi wastewater treatment plant serves Yulin City, Shaanxi Province, China, with a population of 46,000. The facility operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards.
The Shaanxi wastewater treatment plant is located in Jingbian County, Yulin City, Shaanxi Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 46,000, classifying it as a medium-sized municipal facility within the region's wastewater infrastructure. China's wastewater treatment regulations, including the Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002), set effluent quality requirements based on the receiving water body's sensitivity. Plants of this scale typically employ biological treatment processes such as activated sludge or sequencing batch reactors to meet these standards. The treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies within the Loess Plateau region, ultimately contributing to the Yellow River basin. The facility plays a key role in protecting downstream water quality and supporting the ecological health of the area's rivers and agricultural lands.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into local streams that flow into the Yellow River basin, a major water system in northern China. The Loess Plateau region is prone to soil erosion and water scarcity, making effective wastewater treatment critical for maintaining water quality and supporting downstream ecosystems, including agricultural irrigation and aquatic habitats.
