Overview
Shanghai wastewater treatment plant serves 63,000 people in Jinshan District, China. The facility operates under national discharge standards for municipal wastewater.
The Shanghai wastewater treatment plant is located in Jinshan District, Fengjing Town, serving a population of approximately 63,000. The plant is part of China's extensive municipal wastewater infrastructure, which is regulated under national standards such as the Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002). Plants serving this population scale in China typically employ secondary biological treatment with nutrient removal to meet Class 1A or 1B discharge limits. The designed capacity is reported as 1.00 (likely in 10,000 m³/d), indicating a medium-scale facility. The plant discharges into local waterways that ultimately drain into the East China Sea via the Huangpu River system. The receiving water bodies support aquatic ecosystems and are important for regional water resource management. Proper treatment helps protect downstream water quality in the Yangtze River Delta region.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent flows into the local river network within the Yangtze River Delta, eventually reaching the East China Sea. This region is ecologically sensitive, supporting diverse aquatic life and serving as a critical migratory corridor for fish species. The watershed is heavily influenced by urban and industrial activities, making wastewater treatment essential for maintaining water quality and ecosystem health.
