Dany Szennyviztisztito Telep - Advanced Wastewater Treatment in Dány, Hungary

Dany Szennyviztisztito Telep is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Dány, a village in Pest County, Hungary. The plant serves a population of around 2,247 people, reflecting its role in managing domestic wastewater for this small agglomeration in the Central Hungary region. 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 4,300 cubic meters per day and a current discharge volume of approximately 265 cubic meters per day, the facility operates well within its capacity, ensuring effective treatment. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Danube River basin. The plant's advanced treatment helps protect downstream water quality and supports the ecological health of the region's waterways, which are part of the larger Danube catchment area.

The plant discharges into local streams that flow into the Zagyva River, a tributary of the Tisza River, which eventually joins the Danube River before reaching the Black Sea. The surrounding area is part of the Hungarian Plain, where agriculture and small settlements dominate. The advanced treatment level helps reduce nutrient loads, protecting downstream aquatic ecosystems from eutrophication and supporting biodiversity in the Danube basin.
