Kutaso Szennyviztisztito Telep - Advanced Wastewater Treatment in Nógrádmegyer, Hungary

Kutaso Szennyviztisztito Telep is a wastewater treatment facility located in Nógrádmegyer, a village in the Szécsény district of Nógrád County, northern Hungary. The plant serves a small population of 27 residents, reflecting its role in a rural community within the Észak-Magyarország region. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, ensuring a high level of effluent quality. With a designed capacity of 100 m³/day and a current discharge volume of 3.18 m³/day, the facility operates well below its capacity, indicating it is sized for potential future growth or seasonal peaks. As a Hungarian plant, it operates under national regulations aligned with the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires appropriate treatment for small agglomerations. The treated effluent is discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Tisza River basin via tributaries. The plant's advanced treatment helps protect downstream water quality in the Tisza River system, supporting aquatic life and reducing nutrient loads to the Black Sea.

The plant discharges into the local water network that feeds into the Tisza River basin, a major tributary of the Danube River. The Tisza River supports diverse aquatic ecosystems and is an important migratory corridor for fish species. Advanced treatment at this plant helps minimize nutrient and pollutant loads, protecting downstream water quality in the Tisza and ultimately the Black Sea.
