Ivancsa Szennyviztisztito Telep is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Iváncsa, Fejér vármegye, in the Közép-Dunántúl region of Hungary. The plant serves a population of approximately 4,971 people, classifying it as a small to medium agglomeration under Hungarian and EU standards. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond the secondary treatment required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. With a designed capacity of 3,667 m³/day and a current discharge volume of 585.99 m³/day, the facility operates well below its capacity, indicating room for future growth or seasonal variations. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Danube River basin, a major European waterway. The plant's advanced treatment helps protect downstream ecosystems, including the Danube Delta and the Black Sea, by reducing nutrient loads and pollutants.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Danube River basin, which flows through Hungary and several other countries before reaching the Danube Delta and the Black Sea. The Danube is a critical ecological corridor supporting diverse aquatic life, including migratory fish species. Advanced treatment at this plant helps minimize eutrophication risks in downstream waters.
