Kapuvar Szennyviztisztito Telep - Rábakecöl Wastewater Treatment Plant, Hungary

Kapuvar Szennyviztisztito Telep is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Rábakecöl, within the Kapuvár district of Győr-Moson-Sopron county in western Hungary. The facility serves a population of approximately 25,126, placing it in the medium agglomeration category under EU classification. As a Hungarian plant, it operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations between 10,000 and 150,000 population equivalent. The directive also mandates more stringent treatment if the receiving waters are designated as sensitive areas. The plant's specific treatment process and capacity details are not publicly available, but compliance with the directive ensures appropriate treatment standards. The treated effluent is discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Rába River, a tributary of the Danube. The Danube then flows into the Black Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting the Rába River and downstream ecosystems from nutrient pollution and organic load, supporting aquatic biodiversity and water quality in the region.

The plant discharges into the Rába River basin, which flows into the Danube River and eventually reaches the Black Sea. The Rába River supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor in western Hungary. The plant's treatment helps reduce nutrient loads that could otherwise contribute to eutrophication in downstream water bodies.
