Overview
Shandong wastewater treatment plant serves Fushan District, Yantai, Shandong, China, with a population of 117,400. It has a designed capacity of 1.00 (units unspecified) and is located within 50 km of the coast.
The Shandong wastewater treatment plant is located in the Guxian Subdistrict of Yantai Economic and Technological Development Zone, Fushan District, Yantai City, Shandong Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 117,400 people, placing it in the medium-to-large agglomeration category. The plant's designed capacity is 1. As a facility in China, the plant is subject to the Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002), which sets effluent limits for COD, BOD, ammonia nitrogen, and other parameters. For plants serving populations over 100,000, advanced treatment (Class 1A standard) is typically required to protect receiving waters, especially in sensitive coastal areas. The plant is situated within 50 km of the coast, indicating its treated effluent likely discharges into a river or directly into the Bohai Sea via the Yellow Sea drainage basin. The region supports diverse marine life and is an important area for fisheries and aquaculture. Proper treatment is critical to prevent eutrophication and protect coastal ecosystems.
Environmental context
The plant is located in the coastal region of Shandong, within the Yellow Sea drainage basin. Treated effluent likely flows into nearby rivers and ultimately reaches the Bohai Sea, a semi-enclosed sea with limited water exchange. The Bohai Sea supports important fisheries and is ecologically sensitive to nutrient pollution, making advanced treatment essential to prevent algal blooms and hypoxia.
Frequently asked questions
The plant is located in the Guxian Subdistrict of Yantai Economic and Technological Development Zone, Fushan District, Yantai City, Shandong Province, China.
The plant serves approximately 117,400 people, classifying it as a medium-to-large agglomeration under Chinese wastewater management standards.
The plant likely discharges treated effluent into local rivers that flow into the Bohai Sea, a coastal water body. As a facility within 50 km of the coast, it must meet stringent discharge standards to protect marine ecosystems.
The plant operates under China's Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002). For plants serving over 100,000 people, the Class 1A standard is typically required, especially in environmentally sensitive coastal areas.
For agglomerations of this size, Chinese regulations generally mandate secondary treatment with nutrient removal, and often advanced treatment (Class 1A) to meet strict effluent limits for nitrogen and phosphorus, particularly in coastal zones.
