RENSEANLAEGGENE HARRE VEJLE is a wastewater treatment plant located in Roslev, Skive Kommune, in the Region Midtjylland of Denmark. The plant serves a population of approximately 8,931 people, placing it in the medium agglomeration category under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (UWWTD). Its designed capacity is 1.00 unit, reflecting its scale for the local community. As a Danish facility, the plant operates under the national implementation of the EU UWWTD (Directive 91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size discharging into freshwater or estuaries, and more advanced treatment if discharging into sensitive areas. The plant's treatment process and specific permit details are part of the regulatory framework overseen by the Danish Environmental Protection Agency. The plant's treated effluent is discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Limfjord, a shallow sound connecting the North Sea and the Kattegat. The Limfjord supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor for fish and bird species. The plant's location within 50 km of the coast underscores the importance of effective treatment to protect the marine environment.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the local watershed that drains into the Limfjord, a brackish water body connecting the North Sea and the Kattegat. The Limfjord supports diverse aquatic ecosystems, including fish, shellfish, and migratory birds. Effective wastewater treatment is essential to prevent nutrient enrichment and maintain water quality in this ecologically sensitive coastal environment.
