Overview
Csakvar Szennyviztisztito Telep is an advanced wastewater treatment plant serving Vértesacsa, Hungary. It treats wastewater for 3,400 residents with a designed capacity of 2,182 m³/day.
Csakvar Szennyviztisztito Telep is an advanced wastewater treatment facility located in Vértesacsa, within the Közép-Dunántúl region of Hungary. The plant serves a population of approximately 3,400 people, reflecting its role as a medium-sized municipal treatment facility in the area. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond the secondary treatment requirements typically mandated by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. With a designed capacity of 2,182 m³/day and a current discharge volume of 400.80 m³/day, the facility operates well within its capacity, ensuring effective treatment of incoming wastewater. The treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies that ultimately drain into the Danube River basin, contributing to the protection of downstream ecosystems. The plant's advanced treatment level helps minimize nutrient and pollutant loads, supporting water quality in the region's rivers and groundwater.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into local streams that flow into the Danube River basin, which eventually reaches the Black Sea. The region's water bodies support diverse aquatic life and are important for agricultural and ecological balance. Advanced treatment reduces nutrient pollution, protecting downstream habitats from eutrophication.
