Korosladany Szennyviztisztito Telep - Advanced Wastewater Treatment in Körösladány, Hungary

Korosladany Szennyviztisztito Telep is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in Körösladány, a town in the Dél-Alföld region of Hungary. The plant serves a population of approximately 1,978 residents, reflecting its role in managing municipal wastewater for this community. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants. With a designed capacity of 5,107 cubic meters per day and a current discharge volume of 233.17 cubic meters per day, the facility operates well within its capacity. As a Hungarian plant, it operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which mandates appropriate treatment levels based on population equivalents and receiving water sensitivity. The treated effluent is discharged into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Tisza River basin, a major tributary of the Danube. This connection to the Danube River system means the plant's operations contribute to the water quality of a transboundary river network that flows into the Black Sea, supporting diverse aquatic ecosystems downstream.

The plant discharges treated wastewater into local watercourses that are part of the Tisza River basin, which flows into the Danube River and ultimately reaches the Black Sea. This watershed supports a variety of aquatic life, including fish species such as carp and pike, and provides important habitat for migratory birds in the region's wetlands. Advanced treatment helps protect downstream water quality in this ecologically sensitive river system.
