Overview
Zhejiang wastewater treatment plant serves Linping District, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China. It treats wastewater from a population of 160,000 and is located within 10 km of the coast.
The Zhejiang wastewater treatment plant is located in Feizhuang Village, Yunhe Subdistrict, Linping District, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China. It serves a population of 160,000, placing it in the medium-to-large agglomeration category. The plant is situated near the coast, within 10 km of the East China Sea. As a Chinese wastewater facility, it operates under national standards such as the Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002). For agglomerations of this size, secondary treatment with nutrient removal is typically required, especially in sensitive coastal areas. The plant's designed capacity is 1.00 (likely in 10,000 m³/d or similar units), indicating a substantial infrastructure. The plant's treated effluent is discharged into local waterways that ultimately drain into the East China Sea. This coastal location necessitates careful management to protect marine ecosystems, including fisheries and coastal habitats. The plant plays a key role in reducing nutrient and pollutant loads to the sea, supporting water quality in the Hangzhou Bay region.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into local rivers that flow into Hangzhou Bay and the East China Sea. This coastal watershed supports diverse marine life and is important for regional fisheries. The proximity to the sea means that treated effluent must meet strict standards to prevent eutrophication and protect sensitive coastal ecosystems.
