Borszorcsok szennyviztisztito mu - Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant in Devecser, Hungary

Borszorcsok szennyviztisztito mu is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Devecser, within the Közép-Dunántúl region of Hungary. The facility serves a small population of 280 people and is designed to handle up to 500 cubic meters of wastewater per day, with an average discharge volume of 33.01 m³/day. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond the secondary treatment standards required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC). For small agglomerations under 2,000 population equivalent, the directive allows appropriate treatment, but Hungary has implemented advanced treatment at this facility to ensure high effluent quality. The treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies that eventually drain into the Danube River basin. The plant's advanced treatment helps protect the sensitive aquatic ecosystems of the region, supporting biodiversity and water quality in the downstream environment.

The plant discharges into local streams that are part of the Danube River basin, which flows into the Black Sea. The region's aquatic ecosystems support diverse species, including fish and macroinvertebrates. Advanced treatment at this facility helps reduce nutrient loads, protecting downstream water quality and preventing eutrophication in receiving waters.
