Albertirsa Szennyviztisztito Telep - Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant in Albertirsa, Hungary

Albertirsa Szennyviztisztito Telep is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Albertirsa, Pest County, in central Hungary. Serving a population of around 13,600, the facility is part of the region's water management infrastructure, handling domestic wastewater from the town and its surroundings. As a plant serving a medium-sized agglomeration, it is subject to the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for discharges into freshwater. Hungary's national regulations align with this directive, ensuring that treatment standards meet environmental protection goals. The plant's capacity and treatment processes are designed to comply with these requirements, though specific operational details are not publicly available. The treated effluent is discharged into local waterways that drain into the Danube River basin, ultimately reaching the Black Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting the region's water quality, supporting aquatic ecosystems and downstream communities. Its operation helps reduce nutrient and pollutant loads, contributing to the ecological health of the Danube catchment area.

The plant discharges into local streams that flow into the Danube River basin, a major European waterway that empties into the Black Sea. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is an important migratory corridor for fish species. Effective wastewater treatment is critical to prevent eutrophication and maintain water quality in this ecologically sensitive region.
