Overview
Zhejiang wastewater treatment plant serves Tongxiang City in Zhejiang Province, China, with a designed capacity of 1.00 unit. It supports a population of 10,000 and discharges into local water bodies.
The Zhejiang wastewater treatment plant is located in Tongxiang City, within the Jiaxing region of Zhejiang Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 10,000 people, operating as a municipal facility in this rapidly developing area. The plant's designed capacity is 1.00 unit, reflecting its role in managing local wastewater. The plant operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards, which mandate secondary treatment for urban facilities. For a plant serving a population of 10,000, typical treatment includes biological processes to reduce organic matter and nutrients before discharge. The treated effluent is released into local rivers that flow through the Yangtze River Delta region, eventually reaching the East China Sea. This area is ecologically significant, supporting diverse aquatic life and providing water resources for agriculture and industry downstream.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into local waterways that are part of the Yangtze River Delta basin, ultimately draining into the East China Sea. This coastal region supports important fisheries and migratory bird habitats. The plant's location in a densely populated and industrialized area means its effluent quality directly affects downstream water quality and ecosystem health.
