Visiting Water and Wastewater Treatment
Works in Shenzhen
IAHR-HK and CIWEN jointly organized a technical visit to the Meilin
Water Treatment Works and Luofang Wastewater Treatment Works on
17 November 2007. Meilin Water Treatment Works, with a design capacity
of 600,000 cu m per day, was the biggest water and wastewater treatment
facility in Shenzhen serving mainly the Futian area. The plant was
established in 1994 and expanded in phases through to mid 2008.
The plant was equipped with ozone oxidation, activated carbon, biological
treatment and ozone disinfection technologies for achieving high
water quality standards in terms of residual organic compounds and
aesthetic requirements under the 2010 strategic planning scheme
of Shenzhen City.
Luofang Wastewater Treatment Works, which serves 650,000 population,
was one of important projects in Shenzhen in late 1990s. The plant
was developed in two phases: phase I, comprised adsorption (biodegradation
with a capacity of 10,000 t/day); and phase II, adopted triple oxidation
ditch system with a capacity of 250,000 t/day. Treated effluent
from the plant would comply with GB18918-2002 IB standards.
This technical visit provided an opportunity for students to have
a better understanding of water and wastewater engineering, and
environmental engineering.
