Overview
Shanghai wastewater treatment plant serves 196,000 people in Jinshan District, China. It operates under national standards for municipal wastewater treatment.
The Shanghai wastewater treatment plant is located in Zhujing Town, Jinshan District, China, serving a population of 196,000. As a municipal facility, it plays a key role in managing wastewater from this suburban area of Shanghai. The plant's designed capacity of 1.00 (likely in million cubic meters per day) indicates a large-scale facility. Under Chinese regulations, such plants typically employ secondary or advanced treatment to meet discharge standards for surface water bodies. The plant's treated effluent likely discharges into local waterways that flow into the East China Sea. Its operation helps protect downstream aquatic ecosystems and supports water quality in the densely populated Yangtze River Delta region.
Environmental context
The plant's discharge likely enters tributaries of the Huangpu River, which flows through Shanghai into the Yangtze River estuary and ultimately the East China Sea. This coastal region supports diverse marine life and is an important fishing ground. Proper treatment is critical to prevent eutrophication and protect aquatic habitats in this ecologically sensitive area.
