Keked Szennyviztisztito Telep - Advanced Wastewater Treatment in Kéked, Hungary

Keked Szennyviztisztito Telep is an advanced wastewater treatment facility located in Kéked, a small village in the Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén county of northern Hungary. The plant serves a population of approximately 60 residents, reflecting the rural character of the area. It operates under Hungary's implementation of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which sets standards for wastewater collection and treatment. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond the secondary treatment typically required for small agglomerations under the EU directive. With a designed capacity of 100 m³/day and a current discharge volume of 7.07 m³/day, the facility has ample capacity to handle local wastewater flows. The advanced treatment level ensures high-quality effluent, reducing nutrient and pollutant loads. 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 water resource for the region. The plant's advanced treatment helps protect downstream water quality in this sensitive river system.

The plant discharges into small streams that flow into the Tisza River, part of the Danube basin. The Tisza River supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor in Central Europe. Advanced treatment at this plant helps minimize nutrient and pollutant loads, protecting the river's water quality and downstream ecosystems.
