Kup Szennyviztisztito Telep - Advanced Wastewater Treatment in Kup, Hungary

Kup Szennyviztisztito Telep is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in Kup, a village in Veszprém county, Hungary. The plant serves a population of 2,650 and has a designed capacity of 3,000 cubic meters per day, with an average discharge volume of 312.39 m³/day. It operates within the Közép-Dunántúl region, part of the Transdanubian area. As an advanced treatment facility, Kup Szennyviztisztito Telep goes beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants, ensuring high-quality effluent. This aligns with Hungary's implementation of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires advanced treatment for sensitive areas. The plant's scale corresponds to a small agglomeration under the directive. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that eventually flow into the Danube River basin, contributing to the Black Sea watershed. The plant plays a vital role in protecting the region's water resources and supporting the ecological health of downstream aquatic environments.

The plant discharges into local streams that feed into the Marcal River, a tributary of the Rába River, which ultimately joins the Danube River and flows into the Black Sea. The watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is important for regional biodiversity. The advanced treatment helps minimize nutrient loading, protecting downstream water quality in this ecologically sensitive area.
