Fegyvernek Szennyviztisztito Telep - Advanced Wastewater Treatment in Nagykörű, Hungary

Fegyvernek Szennyviztisztito Telep is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in Nagykörű, within the Észak-Alföld region of Hungary. The facility serves a population of approximately 1,347 people, providing essential sanitation services to this small community in Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok county. As an advanced treatment plant, it goes beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants, ensuring high-quality effluent. The plant has a designed capacity of 2750 m³/day and currently discharges about 158.79 m³/day of treated wastewater. Under Hungarian and EU regulations, plants serving agglomerations under 10,000 population equivalents are subject to the Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive, which mandates appropriate treatment levels. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that eventually drain into the Tisza River, a major tributary of the Danube. The Tisza River basin supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor in the Carpathian Basin. The plant's advanced treatment helps protect downstream water quality and ecosystems.

The plant discharges into local streams that flow into the Tisza River, which ultimately joins the Danube River before reaching the Black Sea. The Tisza River basin is ecologically significant, supporting diverse fish populations and serving as a migratory route for birds. The advanced treatment at this facility helps reduce nutrient loading, protecting the river from eutrophication and maintaining water quality for downstream communities and habitats.
