Bogács Szennyvíztisztító Telep - Advanced Wastewater Treatment in Bogács, Hungary

Bogács Szennyvíztisztító Telep is an advanced wastewater treatment facility located in Bogács, a village in Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén county, northern Hungary. The plant serves a population of approximately 2,350 people, reflecting its role in managing domestic wastewater for this small agglomeration. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond the secondary treatment standard required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. With a designed capacity of 5,417 m³/day and a current discharge volume of 277.02 m³/day, the facility operates well below its capacity, indicating potential for future growth or seasonal variations. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that eventually drain into the Tisza River basin, a major tributary of the Danube. This region is part of the larger Danube River Basin, which flows into the Black Sea. The advanced treatment helps protect downstream aquatic ecosystems and supports water quality in the sensitive Carpathian Basin environment.

The plant discharges into local streams that feed into the Tisza River, a key waterway in the Danube River Basin. The Tisza flows through Hungary and into Serbia before joining the Danube, which ultimately reaches the Black Sea. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is important for regional biodiversity. Advanced treatment at the plant helps reduce nutrient loads, protecting downstream water bodies from eutrophication.
