Kenyeri Szennyviztisztito Telep - Advanced Wastewater Treatment in Kenyeri, Hungary

Kenyeri Szennyviztisztito Telep is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in Kenyeri, a village in Vas County within the Nyugat-Dunántúl region of Hungary. The plant serves a population of approximately 2,198 residents, providing essential sanitation infrastructure for this rural community. The facility employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants. With a designed capacity of 2,950 m³/day and a current discharge volume of 259.10 m³/day, the plant operates well below its capacity, indicating room for future growth. As a Hungarian plant, it operates under national regulations that transpose the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires appropriate treatment for agglomerations of this size. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Danube River basin, contributing to the protection of the Danube's water quality and the Black Sea ecosystem. The plant plays a key role in safeguarding local streams and groundwater from untreated wastewater.

The plant discharges into local water bodies that are part of the Danube River basin, which flows through Central and Eastern Europe before reaching the Black Sea. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and provides drinking water for millions. The advanced treatment helps reduce nutrient loading, protecting downstream ecosystems from eutrophication.
