Overview
Zhejiang wastewater treatment plant serves 22,000 people in Tongxiang, Zhejiang Province, China. The facility has a designed capacity of 1.00 unit and operates under national wastewater regulations.
The Zhejiang wastewater treatment plant is located in Tongxiang, a city in Zhejiang Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 22,000 people, making it a medium-sized facility within the region. The plant is situated in the industrial and residential area of Puyuan Town, Tongxiang, and plays a key role in managing local wastewater. The plant operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards, which mandate secondary treatment for urban wastewater. The designed capacity of 1.00 unit indicates the facility's scale, and it is expected to meet the regulatory requirements for effluent quality before discharge. The plant's treated wastewater likely discharges into local water bodies that eventually flow into the East China Sea. The region's dense population and industrial activity make effective wastewater treatment crucial for protecting downstream aquatic ecosystems and maintaining water quality in the Yangtze River Delta watershed.
Environmental context
The plant is located in the Yangtze River Delta, a densely populated and economically vital region. Treated effluent likely enters local rivers and canals that drain into the East China Sea. The downstream environment supports diverse aquatic life and is important for fisheries and agriculture. Effective treatment helps reduce nutrient loading and pollution in this sensitive coastal ecosystem.
