Overview
The Zhejiang wastewater treatment plant serves Xiuzhou District, Jiaxing, Zhejiang, China, with a designed capacity of 1.00 and a population served of 23,000. It operates under China's national wastewater regulations.
The Zhejiang wastewater treatment plant is located in Xincheng Town, Xiuzhou District, Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 23,000 people, placing it in the small-to-medium agglomeration category. The plant is situated in an inland area, more than 50 km from the coast, and its operations are subject to China's national wastewater discharge standards. With a designed capacity of 1.00 (likely in cubic meters per day or similar unit), the plant is sized to handle the wastewater from its service area. Under China's regulatory framework, wastewater treatment plants of this scale are required to meet the Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002), which sets limits for key pollutants. Typical facilities in this region employ biological treatment methods such as activated sludge or sequencing batch reactors. The plant discharges treated effluent into local water bodies that eventually drain into the Yangtze River Delta watershed. The region's dense network of rivers and canals flows into the East China Sea. The plant plays a crucial role in protecting downstream aquatic ecosystems and supporting water quality in the densely populated and industrialized Yangtze River Delta.
Environmental context
The plant is located in the Yangtze River Delta, a vast alluvial plain with a dense network of rivers and lakes. Treated effluent likely enters local waterways that drain into the East China Sea via the Yangtze River estuary. The delta supports diverse aquatic life and is an important migratory corridor for fish and birds. Protecting water quality in this region is critical for both ecological health and human use, including drinking water, agriculture, and fisheries.
