1 Project Overview

The Heze Mudan Airport Wastewater Treatment Station Project is an essential environmental infrastructure facility supporting the operation of Heze Mudan Airport in Shandong Province, China.

The project ensures safe collection, treatment, and reuse of domestic wastewater generated from airport terminals, catering facilities, office buildings, and oil storage areas.

The treated effluent is reused as cooling water supplement for a nearby power plant, achieving zero discharge and full resource recovery, supporting sustainable airport operation.
