Overview
Shandong wastewater treatment plant serves Zhaoyuan City in Shandong Province, China, with a designed capacity of 1.00 and a population served of 180,000. It operates under China's national wastewater regulations.
The Shandong wastewater treatment plant is located in Zhaoyuan City, Yantai, Shandong Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 180,000, classifying it as a large-scale municipal facility. The plant is situated inland, more than 50 km from the coast, and its operations are integral to the region's water management infrastructure. As a large agglomeration, the plant is expected to meet secondary treatment standards under China's national wastewater discharge standards (GB 18918-2002). The designed capacity volume is 1.00, indicating the plant's scale. The facility likely employs conventional biological treatment methods common in Chinese municipal plants of this size. The plant discharges treated effluent into local water bodies that ultimately drain into the Yellow Sea via the Shandong Peninsula's river systems. The surrounding watershed supports agricultural and urban activities, and the plant plays a key role in protecting downstream water quality and aquatic ecosystems.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent flows into local rivers within the Shandong Peninsula watershed, eventually reaching the Yellow Sea. This coastal region supports diverse marine life and is important for fisheries. The plant's operations help mitigate nutrient and pollutant loads, safeguarding downstream water quality and ecological health.
