Overview
Zhejiang wastewater treatment plant serves 3,000 people in Kecheng District, Quzhou, Zhejiang, China. It operates under China's national wastewater standards for small-scale agglomerations.
The Zhejiang wastewater treatment plant is located in Qinghe Tan, Shishi Township, Kecheng District, Quzhou City, Zhejiang Province, China. It serves a population of approximately 3,000 people, classifying it as a small-scale municipal facility within the region's wastewater infrastructure. As a small agglomeration, the plant is expected to meet China's Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (GB 18918-2002), which mandates secondary treatment with nutrient removal for facilities discharging to sensitive water bodies. Typical small plants in Zhejiang employ biological treatment methods such as activated sludge or sequencing batch reactors. The plant discharges treated effluent into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Qiantang River basin, which flows into the East China Sea. The receiving water body supports aquatic life and is used for agricultural irrigation downstream. Proper treatment helps protect water quality in this densely populated region.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent enters local streams within the Qiantang River watershed, which flows through Zhejiang Province before reaching Hangzhou Bay and the East China Sea. The downstream environment includes agricultural areas and urban zones, making nutrient removal important to prevent eutrophication in coastal waters. The region's subtropical climate with heavy monsoon rains can stress drainage systems, emphasizing the need for consistent treatment.
