Ivanc Szennyviztisztito Telep - Advanced Wastewater Treatment in Ivánc, Hungary

Ivanc Szennyviztisztito Telep is an advanced wastewater treatment facility located in Ivánc, in the Nyugat-Dunántúl region of Hungary. The plant serves a population of approximately 2,440 people, making it a small-scale municipal treatment facility in the Vas county area. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond the secondary treatment standards required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. With a designed capacity of 1,500 m³/day and a current discharge volume of 287.63 m³/day, the facility operates well within its capacity, ensuring effective treatment of local wastewater. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that eventually drain into the Rába River, a tributary of the Danube. The Danube then flows into the Black Sea, making this plant part of a vast international watershed. The advanced treatment level helps protect downstream aquatic ecosystems and supports water quality in the region.

The plant discharges into local streams that feed into the Rába River, a major tributary of the Danube. The Danube ultimately flows into the Black Sea, making this facility part of a large transboundary watershed. The advanced treatment level helps reduce nutrient loading and protects sensitive aquatic habitats in the downstream river system, which supports diverse fish populations and migratory bird species.
