Cserkeszolo Szennyviztisztito Telep - Advanced Wastewater Treatment in Cserkeszőlő, Hungary

Cserkeszolo Szennyviztisztito Telep is a wastewater treatment facility located in Cserkeszőlő, a village in the Észak-Alföld region of Hungary. The plant serves a population of 2,014, classifying it as a small agglomeration under Hungarian and EU regulations. It is situated inland, far from coastal waters, and treats wastewater from the local community. 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 3,330 m³/day and an actual discharge volume of 237.41 m³/day, the plant operates well below its capacity, indicating room for future growth or seasonal variations. The advanced treatment level ensures high-quality effluent suitable for discharge into sensitive environments. The treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies that eventually drain into the Tisza River, a major tributary of the Danube. The Tisza River basin supports diverse aquatic ecosystems and is an important migratory corridor for fish. The plant's advanced treatment helps protect downstream water quality in the Tisza and Danube rivers, which flow into the Black Sea.

The plant discharges into local streams that feed into the Tisza River, a major tributary of the Danube River system. The Tisza River basin is ecologically sensitive, supporting diverse aquatic life and serving as a key migratory route for fish species. The Danube ultimately flows into the Black Sea, making the plant's advanced treatment crucial for reducing nutrient and pollutant loads in this transboundary watershed.
