Overview
Felso Keked telepulesresz szvt is an advanced wastewater treatment plant serving the small settlement of Kéked in northern Hungary. It treats a small population with a designed capacity of 35 m³/day.
Felso Keked telepulesresz szvt is a wastewater treatment plant located in the village of Kéked, in the Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén county of northern Hungary. The plant serves a small population of 34 residents, reflecting its role in a rural, low-density settlement within the Észak-Magyarország 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 under 2,000 population equivalent. Its designed capacity is 35 m³/day, and the current discharge volume is 4.01 m³/day, indicating ample capacity for the served population. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Tisza River basin, a major tributary of the Danube. This contributes to the protection of the Tisza's aquatic ecosystems and the broader Danube River system, supporting biodiversity and water quality downstream.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into local streams that flow into the Tisza River, a key waterway in the Carpathian Basin. The Tisza supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor in Central Europe. Advanced treatment helps minimize nutrient and pollutant loads, protecting downstream habitats and water quality in the Danube River basin.
