Overview
Shandong wastewater treatment plant serves Dong'e County, Liaocheng, Shandong, China, with a population of 70,000. The plant operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards.
The Shandong wastewater treatment plant is located in Dong'e County, Liaocheng, Shandong Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 70,000 people, classifying it as a medium-sized municipal facility within the region's wastewater infrastructure. Under China's national wastewater treatment regulations, plants serving populations of this scale are typically required to meet Class 1-A or 1-B discharge standards under the Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002). These standards mandate secondary treatment with nutrient removal for sensitive water bodies, ensuring compliance with environmental protection goals. The plant discharges treated effluent into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Yellow River basin, a major river system in northern China. The Yellow River supports extensive agricultural irrigation and provides drinking water for millions, making effective wastewater treatment critical for downstream water quality and ecosystem health.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent flows into the Yellow River basin, which traverses arid and semi-arid regions of northern China before reaching the Bohai Sea. The river supports diverse aquatic life and is a vital water source for agriculture and urban areas. Effective nutrient removal is essential to prevent eutrophication in downstream reservoirs and coastal zones.
