Overview
TABEL wastewater treatment plant serves Agger, Denmark, with a designed capacity of 1.00. It operates under EU regulations for agglomerations of its size.
TABEL is a wastewater treatment plant located in Agger, a coastal settlement in the Thisted Municipality of Region Nordjylland, Denmark. The plant serves a population of approximately 8,487 people, placing it in the small-to-medium agglomeration category under EU classification. As a Danish facility, TABEL operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations between 2,000 and 15,000 population equivalent discharging into coastal waters. The plant's designed capacity of 1.00 (likely in thousands of cubic meters per day) supports its service area. The plant's treated effluent is discharged into the nearby North Sea via local drainage channels. The coastal environment supports diverse marine life and is part of the broader Limfjord region, an important ecological area for fish and bird species.
Environmental context
TABEL discharges into the North Sea through local coastal drainage. The receiving waters are part of the Limfjord system, a shallow sound that connects the North Sea to the Kattegat. This area supports diverse aquatic life, including migratory fish and seabirds, and is ecologically sensitive due to nutrient inputs from agricultural runoff.
