Overview
SKA Veringendorf is a municipal wastewater treatment plant serving approximately 10,250 people in Veringendorf, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive.
SKA Veringendorf is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Veringendorf, a district of Veringenstadt in the state of Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The plant serves a population of approximately 10,250 people, classifying it as a medium-sized agglomeration under EU regulations. As a German wastewater treatment facility, SKA Veringendorf is subject to the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size. The plant's designed capacity is 1.00 (likely in thousand cubic meters per day or similar unit), indicating it is sized to handle the local wastewater load. Treatment processes typically include mechanical and biological stages to meet national effluent standards. The plant discharges treated wastewater into a local watercourse that ultimately drains into the Danube River basin, as Veringendorf lies within the Danube watershed. The receiving water body supports aquatic life and contributes to the ecological health of the region. Proper treatment helps protect downstream water quality and biodiversity.
Environmental context
SKA Veringendorf discharges into a local stream that flows into the Danube River system, which eventually reaches the Black Sea. The plant's location in the Danube basin means its effluent affects a major European river ecosystem. The surrounding area includes agricultural land and small settlements, so nutrient removal is important to prevent eutrophication in downstream waters.
