Dunaszekcso Szennyviztisztito Telep - Advanced Wastewater Treatment in Dunaszekcső, Hungary

Dunaszekcso Szennyviztisztito Telep is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Dunaszekcső, a village in Baranya County within the Dél-Dunántúl region of Hungary. The plant serves a population of 1,753, classifying it as a small agglomeration under Hungarian and EU regulations. 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. Its designed capacity is 3,750 m³/day, while the current discharge volume is 206.65 m³/day, indicating significant spare capacity. The treated effluent is discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Danube River via smaller tributaries. The Danube is a major European waterway and ecologically significant river, supporting diverse aquatic life and serving as a critical migratory corridor. The plant's advanced treatment helps protect downstream water quality in the Danube basin.

The plant discharges into the local drainage network that flows into the Danube River, one of Europe's most important waterways. The Danube supports a rich ecosystem, including numerous fish species and migratory birds. Advanced treatment at this plant reduces nutrient and pollutant loads, helping to maintain water quality in the Danube basin and ultimately the Black Sea.
