Overview
Shandong wastewater treatment plant serves Lijin County, Dongying, Shandong, China, with a population of 70,000. It operates under China's national wastewater standards.
The Shandong wastewater treatment plant is located in Lijin County, Dongying City, Shandong Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 70,000 people, classifying it as a medium-sized municipal facility within the region's water infrastructure network. As a plant in China, it operates under the national Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002), which sets effluent limits based on receiving water sensitivity. For plants serving populations of this scale, secondary treatment with nutrient removal is typically required to meet Class 1-A or 1-B standards, especially when discharging into sensitive water bodies. The plant's treated effluent likely discharges into a local river system within the Yellow River basin, which ultimately flows into the Bohai Sea. The downstream environment supports diverse aquatic life and is important for regional agriculture and fisheries. Proper treatment helps protect water quality in this ecologically significant coastal zone.
Environmental context
The plant is located in the Yellow River basin, with treated effluent likely entering a tributary of the Yellow River before reaching the Bohai Sea. This coastal sea supports important fisheries and migratory bird habitats. The region's semi-arid climate and intensive agriculture make water quality management critical for both ecological health and human use.
