Overview
Shanxi wastewater treatment plant serves Yong'an town in Shanxi province, China, with a population equivalent of 35,500. It operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards.
The Shanxi wastewater treatment plant is located in Shijiagou Village, Yong'an Town, Fenxi County, Linfen City, Shanxi Province, China. It serves a population equivalent of 35,500, classifying it as a medium-sized municipal facility within the region's wastewater infrastructure. As a Chinese wastewater treatment plant, it operates under the national Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002), which sets effluent limits for various pollutants. For a facility of this scale, secondary treatment with nutrient removal is typically required to meet Class 1-A or 1-B standards, depending on the receiving water body's sensitivity. The plant's treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Yellow River basin, a major river system in northern China. The Yellow River and its tributaries support agricultural irrigation, industrial use, and aquatic ecosystems, making proper wastewater treatment essential for water quality and ecological health in the region.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into local streams that flow into the Fen River, a tributary of the Yellow River. The Yellow River basin is ecologically significant, supporting diverse aquatic life and providing water for agriculture and industry in arid northern China. Proper treatment helps reduce nutrient and pollutant loads, protecting downstream water quality and ecosystem health.
