Overview
Shandong wastewater treatment plant serves Weicheng District, Weifang, Shandong, China, with a designed capacity of 1.00 and a population served of 812,000. It operates under China's national wastewater regulations.
The Shandong wastewater treatment plant is located in Weicheng District, Weifang City, Shandong Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 812,000 people, placing it in the large agglomeration category. The plant's designed capacity is 1. China's wastewater treatment standards are governed by the Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002), which sets effluent limits based on receiving water sensitivity. For large plants like this, advanced treatment with nutrient removal is often required, especially if discharging into sensitive water bodies. The plant discharges into the local watershed, which is part of the larger Haihe River basin or a tributary of the Yellow River system, depending on precise location. The treated effluent ultimately flows toward the Bohai Sea, a semi-enclosed marginal sea with significant ecological importance. The region supports diverse aquatic life and is a critical area for migratory birds.
Environmental context
The plant's receiving water body is likely a tributary of the Weihe River or a canal within the Haihe River basin, eventually draining into the Bohai Sea. The Bohai Sea is a shallow, semi-enclosed sea that supports important fisheries and migratory bird habitats. Discharge from large treatment plants in this region must meet stringent nutrient limits to prevent eutrophication and protect coastal ecosystems.
