Komadi Szennyviztisztito Telep - Advanced Wastewater Treatment in Komádi, Hungary

Komadi Szennyviztisztito Telep is an advanced wastewater treatment facility located in Komádi, in the Észak-Alföld region of Hungary. The plant serves a population of about 4,280 people, reflecting its role in managing municipal wastewater for this small agglomeration in Hajdú-Bihar county. As an advanced treatment plant, it goes beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants, ensuring high-quality effluent. The plant has a designed capacity of 5,667 m³/day and currently discharges approximately 504.53 m³/day of treated wastewater. This level of treatment aligns with Hungary's implementation of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive, which requires appropriate treatment for sensitive areas. The treated effluent is discharged into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Tisza River basin, a major tributary of the Danube. The plant's advanced treatment helps protect downstream aquatic ecosystems and supports water quality in the region's rivers and wetlands.

The plant discharges into local streams that flow into the Berettyó River, a tributary of the Körös River system, which eventually joins the Tisza River. The Tisza is a major river in Central Europe, draining into the Danube and ultimately the Black Sea. The region's aquatic ecosystems support diverse fish populations and migratory birds, making advanced treatment important for maintaining ecological balance.
