SKA Tannhausen Wastewater Treatment Plant, Tannhausen, Baden-Württemberg

SKA Tannhausen is a wastewater treatment plant located in Tannhausen, a municipality in the Ostalbkreis district of Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The plant served a population of approximately 1,850 people and had a designed capacity of 2,500 cubic meters per day. It is currently closed. As a secondary treatment facility, SKA Tannhausen provided biological treatment to remove organic matter and suspended solids. Under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), plants serving agglomerations of this size (under 2,000 population equivalent) are typically required to provide appropriate treatment, with secondary treatment being standard for inland discharges. The plant's treated effluent was discharged into local watercourses within the Danube River basin. The region is characterized by rural and agricultural landscapes, and the receiving waters support aquatic ecosystems that depend on good water quality.

SKA Tannhausen is situated in the Danube River basin, with local streams eventually draining into the Danube and then the Black Sea. The surrounding area includes agricultural land and small settlements, where water quality is important for both ecological health and downstream uses. The plant's secondary treatment helped reduce organic pollution and protect local aquatic life.
