Overview
Zhejiang wastewater treatment plant serves Tiantai County in Zhejiang, China, with a population equivalent of 160,000. The facility has a designed capacity of 1.00 unit and is located inland, discharging into local water bodies.
The Zhejiang wastewater treatment plant is located in Tiantai County, Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province, China. It serves a population equivalent of 160,000, classifying it as a large agglomeration under Chinese wastewater regulations. The facility is situated inland, away from coastal areas, and its operations are part of the municipal infrastructure managed by local authorities. As a large-scale plant, it is expected to meet secondary treatment standards under China's national wastewater discharge regulations (GB 18918-2002). The designed capacity is 1. The plant's operational status and permit details are not publicly listed, but it likely operates under permits issued by the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Ecology and Environment. The plant discharges treated wastewater into local rivers that flow through the region, eventually reaching the East China Sea. The facility plays a key role in protecting water quality in the Tiantai County area, supporting downstream ecosystems and agricultural water use. Its inland location reduces direct marine impact but requires careful management of nutrient loads to prevent eutrophication in receiving waters.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into local rivers within the Tiantai County watershed, which ultimately drains into the East China Sea via the Yongjiang River system. The downstream environment supports diverse aquatic life and is used for irrigation and fishing. Effective treatment is essential to prevent nutrient pollution and maintain ecological balance in this densely populated region.
