Dubicsany Szennyviztisztito Telep is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in Sajóvelezd, within the Észak-Magyarország region of Hungary. The plant serves a small population of 262 residents, reflecting its role in a rural community. Its designed capacity of 200 m³/day indicates a facility sized for local needs. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, exceeding the secondary treatment standard required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations under 2,000 population equivalent. This level of treatment ensures high-quality effluent, reducing nutrient loads and protecting receiving waters. The plant discharges a daily volume of 30.89 m³, well within its capacity. The treated effluent likely enters local streams that flow into the Sajó River, a tributary of the Tisza River, which ultimately drains into the Danube and the Black Sea. The advanced treatment helps safeguard the ecological health of these water bodies, supporting aquatic biodiversity and downstream water quality.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into local watercourses that feed the Sajó River, part of the Tisza River basin. The Tisza flows into the Danube, which empties into the Black Sea. The region's aquatic ecosystems support diverse species, including fish and invertebrates, and the advanced treatment reduces nutrient pollution that could cause eutrophication in downstream waters.
