Overview
Halmajugra Szennyviztisztito Telep is an advanced wastewater treatment plant serving Kisnána, Hungary. It treats wastewater for 821 residents with a designed capacity of 1,150 m³/day.
Halmajugra Szennyviztisztito Telep is a wastewater treatment facility located in Kisnána, a village in the Gyöngyös district of Heves county, northern Hungary. The plant serves a population of 821, classifying it as a small agglomeration under Hungarian and EU regulations. It operates with advanced treatment technology, ensuring high-quality effluent discharge. The plant's designed capacity is 1,150 cubic meters per day, and it currently discharges approximately 96.78 cubic meters daily. As an advanced treatment facility, it goes beyond the secondary treatment requirements of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which mandates secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size. The advanced process likely includes nutrient removal to protect sensitive receiving waters. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Tisza River basin, a major tributary of the Danube. The Tisza River supports diverse aquatic ecosystems and is an important migratory corridor for fish species. The plant's advanced treatment helps minimize nutrient loading and protects downstream water quality in the Danube River and the Black Sea.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into local streams that flow into the Tisza River, a major tributary of the Danube River. The Tisza basin supports diverse aquatic life, including protected fish species, and is an important ecological corridor. Advanced treatment at this plant reduces nutrient pollution, helping to prevent eutrophication in downstream waters, including the Danube Delta and the Black Sea.
