SKA Adelmannsfelden Adelmannsfelden is a wastewater treatment plant located in Adelmannsfelden, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The plant served a population of 1,650 and was designed with a capacity of 2,015 m³/day, with an average discharge volume of 683.87 m³/day. It is now closed. The plant provided secondary treatment, which is the standard required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. Secondary treatment typically involves biological processes to reduce organic matter and suspended solids. The plant's discharge likely entered a local watercourse within the Danube or Rhine basin, contributing to the region's water quality management.
Environmental context
The plant is located inland in the Ostalbkreis district of Baden-Württemberg, far from the coast. Its treated effluent would have flowed into a nearby stream, eventually reaching the Jagst River, a tributary of the Neckar, which drains into the Rhine. The region supports diverse aquatic life and is part of a sensitive watershed where nutrient management is important to prevent eutrophication.
