Water Quality Characteristics and Seasonal Changes in Wastewater Treatment in the Southern Hebei Region by Branch
This study analyzed three years of data (2021–2024) from three wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), namely D, X, and T, in the main urban area of Handan, a typical city in the southern Hebei region, and investigated the influent characteristics and impact of temperature on these wastewater treatment...

| description | This study analyzed three years of data (2021–2024) from three wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), namely D, X, and T, in the main urban area of Handan, a typical city in the southern Hebei region, and investigated the influent characteristics and impact of temperature on these wastewater treatment facilities. With 90% assurance, the overall influent conditions of the three WWTPs in this region were normal. However, Plant T operated more effectively with slightly lower BOD<sub>5</sub>/COD<sub>Cr</sub> (B/C), organic carbon/total phosphorus (C/TP), and organic carbon/total nitrogen (C/TN) ratios in the influent. Plant D consistently met the Level A standard, Plant X essentially reached the Level A standard, while Plant T attained the Level 2 standard prior to its upgrade. Following the upgrade, Plant T also steadily met the Level A standard. The effluent from all plants was relatively stable, primarily influenced by the influent characteristics and slightly influenced by temperature, but without having a noticeable impact on the effluent quality. |
