Overview
Shanxi wastewater treatment plant serves Yangcheng County in Shanxi Province, China, with a population of 70,000. It operates under China's national wastewater standards for urban agglomerations.
The Shanxi wastewater treatment plant is located in Yangcheng County, Jincheng City, Shanxi Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 70,000, classifying it as a medium-sized municipal facility within the region's water management infrastructure. As a Chinese wastewater treatment plant serving a medium agglomeration, it is expected to comply with the Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002), which sets effluent limits for conventional pollutants, nutrients, and pathogens. Typical facilities of this scale in China employ secondary biological treatment, often with nutrient removal to meet local water quality objectives. The plant discharges treated effluent into local water bodies within the Yellow River basin, which ultimately drains into the Bohai Sea. The receiving environment supports agricultural irrigation and aquatic habitats, making effective treatment crucial for protecting downstream water quality and ecosystem health.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent flows into tributaries of the Yellow River, which drains into the Bohai Sea. The Yellow River basin is ecologically significant, supporting diverse aquatic life and providing water for agriculture and industry. Effective wastewater treatment is essential to prevent eutrophication and protect the river's ecological functions.
