Shanxi wastewater treatment plant is located in Jincheng City, Shanxi Province, China, serving a population of approximately 320,000. The facility is situated in the urban area of Jincheng, a prefecture-level city in the southeastern part of Shanxi. As a large-scale municipal plant, it is expected to meet China's Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002), which mandates secondary treatment with nutrient removal for plants of this size. The plant's design capacity and treatment process are aligned with national guidelines for agglomerations serving over 100,000 people. The treated effluent is discharged into local waterways that ultimately flow into the Yellow River basin, a major river system in northern China. The plant plays a crucial role in protecting the aquatic environment of the region, reducing pollutant loads to downstream rivers and supporting water quality in the densely populated area.
