Overview
Shandong wastewater treatment plant serves Juye County, Heze, Shandong, China, with a population of 170,000. It operates under China's national wastewater standards, discharging treated effluent into local waterways.
The Shandong wastewater treatment plant is located in Yongfeng Subdistrict, Juye County, Heze City, Shandong Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 170,000, classifying it as a medium-to-large agglomeration under Chinese wastewater management frameworks. The plant is situated inland, more than 50 km from the coast, and its treated effluent is discharged into local rivers that ultimately drain into the Yellow Sea. As a facility serving over 100,000 people, the plant is expected to meet secondary treatment standards under China's Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002). This national regulation sets effluent limits for biochemical oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, suspended solids, and nutrients. The plant's operational context aligns with China's broader efforts to improve water quality in the Yellow River basin and coastal waters. The receiving water body is part of the Yellow River system, which flows through Shandong Province into the Bohai Sea. The downstream environment supports diverse aquatic life and is ecologically sensitive due to agricultural runoff and industrial discharges. The plant plays a key role in protecting local water quality and reducing pollution loads to the river and sea.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into a tributary of the Yellow River, which flows through Shandong Province and empties into the Bohai Sea. This watershed supports important fisheries and migratory bird habitats. The region faces challenges from agricultural and industrial pollution, making the plant's treatment essential for maintaining downstream water quality and ecosystem health.
