Overview
Zhejiang wastewater treatment plant serves Xiangshan County, Zhejiang, China, with a designed capacity of 1.00 and a population served of 28,200. It is located within 50 km of the coast.
The Zhejiang wastewater treatment plant is located in Juexi Subdistrict, Xiangshan County, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 28,200, placing it in the small-to-medium agglomeration category. As a facility in China, the plant operates under national wastewater discharge standards, which typically require secondary treatment for urban wastewater. For plants of this scale, compliance with the Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002) is expected, with effluent limits based on the receiving water body's sensitivity. The plant is situated within 50 km of the coast, indicating potential discharge into a coastal or estuarine environment. The plant likely discharges into a local river or directly into the East China Sea, affecting downstream marine ecosystems. The region's watershed drains into the East China Sea, supporting diverse aquatic life and fisheries.
