Overview
Tianjin wastewater treatment plant serves 140,000 people in Binhai New District, Tianjin, China. It is an inland facility with a designed capacity of 1.00 (unit unspecified), operating under China's national wastewater standards.
The Tianjin wastewater treatment plant is located in Binhai New District, a major urban and industrial area within the municipality of Tianjin, China. Serving a population of approximately 140,000, the plant is part of the city's municipal wastewater infrastructure, handling domestic and industrial flows from the surrounding district. The plant operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards, which are enforced by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment. For a facility serving this population size, secondary treatment is typically required, with potential nutrient removal in sensitive areas. The designed capacity of 1.00 (unit unspecified) suggests the plant is sized to meet local demand. The plant discharges treated effluent into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Bohai Sea via the Hai River system. The Bohai Sea is a semi-enclosed marginal sea with significant ecological importance, supporting fisheries and marine biodiversity. The plant's operations contribute to protecting downstream water quality in this densely populated and industrialized region.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent flows into the Hai River basin, which drains into the Bohai Sea, a semi-enclosed sea with limited water exchange. The Bohai Sea supports diverse marine life and is an important fishing ground, but faces eutrophication risks from nutrient inputs. The plant's discharge management is critical for maintaining water quality in this ecologically sensitive coastal environment.
Frequently asked questions
The plant is located in Binhai New District, Tianjin, China, at Xingang 2nd Road in the Xingang Street area.
The plant serves approximately 140,000 people in the Binhai New District area.
Treated effluent is discharged into local waterways that flow into the Hai River system, which ultimately drains into the Bohai Sea.
The plant operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards, enforced by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, which mandate secondary treatment for facilities of this scale.
For a population of 140,000, secondary treatment is standard, often with biological nutrient removal to meet discharge limits for nitrogen and phosphorus, especially in areas draining to sensitive coastal waters like the Bohai Sea.
