TORNVED C Wastewater Treatment Plant, Jyderup, Denmark

TORNVED C is a wastewater treatment plant located in Jyderup, Holbæk Kommune, Region Sjælland, Denmark. It serves a population of approximately 7,151 people, placing it in the small-to-medium agglomeration category under EU classification. As a Danish facility, it operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size. Denmark's implementation of the directive ensures that plants like TORNVED C meet stringent nutrient removal standards, particularly in sensitive areas. Treated effluent from the plant is discharged into local water bodies that eventually drain into the Baltic Sea. The region's watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is part of Denmark's broader environmental protection efforts. The plant plays a key role in maintaining water quality in the surrounding area.

The plant discharges into local streams that flow into the Isefjord, a shallow inlet of the Kattegat Sea, which is part of the Baltic Sea basin. This coastal environment supports diverse marine life, including fish and bird species, and is sensitive to nutrient pollution. The plant's treatment helps protect the fjord's ecological balance.
