The Zhejiang wastewater treatment plant is located in Wucheng District, Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 400,000, classifying it as a large-scale municipal facility within the region. The plant is situated inland, away from coastal areas, and its operations are integral to the local water management infrastructure. As a large agglomeration, the plant is expected to meet the requirements of China's Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002), which mandates secondary treatment with nutrient removal for facilities of this scale. The plant's treatment processes are designed to comply with these national standards, ensuring effective pollutant reduction before discharge. The treated effluent from the plant is discharged into local water bodies that ultimately drain into the Qiantang River basin, which flows into the East China Sea. The plant plays a crucial role in protecting the downstream aquatic environment, supporting water quality in the region's rivers and contributing to the ecological health of the broader watershed.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Qiantang River basin, which flows through Zhejiang Province and empties into the East China Sea. The downstream environment supports diverse aquatic life and is important for regional fisheries and agriculture. The plant's treatment helps mitigate nutrient loading and protects water quality in this ecologically sensitive river system.
