Overview
Shandong wastewater treatment plant serves Haiyang City in Shandong Province, China, with a designed capacity of 1.00 and a population served of 140,000. The facility operates under China's national wastewater regulations.
The Shandong wastewater treatment plant is located in Fengcheng Subdistrict, Haiyang City, Yantai, Shandong Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 140,000 people, classifying it as a medium-to-large agglomeration under Chinese wastewater management standards. The plant operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards, which require secondary treatment for urban wastewater. The designed capacity of 1.00 (likely in cubic meters per day or similar unit) indicates the plant's scale. For agglomerations of this size, Chinese regulations typically mandate advanced treatment to protect receiving water bodies. The plant is located within 50 km of the coast, and its treated effluent likely discharges into local rivers or directly into the Yellow Sea. This proximity to marine waters necessitates stringent nutrient removal to prevent eutrophication and protect coastal ecosystems. The facility plays a key role in safeguarding the region's water quality and supporting downstream aquatic life.
Environmental context
The plant's discharge ultimately reaches the Yellow Sea via local rivers and streams. The coastal waters of Shandong support diverse marine life, including fisheries and migratory species. Effective treatment is critical to minimize nutrient loading and protect the ecological health of this important marine environment.
