Overview
ULLERSLEV RENSEANLAEG is a wastewater treatment plant in Nyborg, Denmark, serving a population of 3,017. The plant is located within 50 km of the coast and discharges into the local watershed.
ULLERSLEV RENSEANLAEG is a wastewater treatment facility located in Nyborg, on the island of Funen, Denmark. The plant serves a population of approximately 3,017 people, classifying it as a small agglomeration under Danish and EU regulations. Its location near the coast places it within a sensitive environmental zone. As a Danish plant, it operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size. The designed capacity is 1.00 (likely in thousand cubic meters per day or similar), indicating the plant's scale. Compliance with the directive ensures adequate treatment before discharge. The plant's treated effluent ultimately reaches the Baltic Sea via local watercourses. The Baltic Sea is a brackish, semi-enclosed sea with limited water exchange, making it sensitive to nutrient pollution. The plant's operation helps protect this vulnerable marine environment from excessive nutrient loads.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into local streams that drain into the Great Belt, a strait connecting the Baltic Sea to the Kattegat. The Baltic Sea is ecologically sensitive due to its brackish waters and susceptibility to eutrophication from nutrient inputs. The plant's treatment helps mitigate nutrient loading, supporting the health of this important marine ecosystem.
