Labatlan Szennyviztisztito Telep - Primary Wastewater Treatment in Nyergesújfalu, Hungary

Labatlan Szennyviztisztito Telep is a wastewater treatment plant located in Nyergesújfalu, in the Közép-Dunántúl region of Hungary. The plant serves a population of 1,817 and has a designed capacity of 2,000 m³/day, with an average discharge volume of 214.19 m³/day. The plant provides primary treatment, which is the minimum level required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations with a population equivalent (PE) between 2,000 and 10,000. As a small agglomeration, the plant meets the directive's requirements for secondary treatment, though primary treatment is acceptable for discharges into less sensitive areas. The treated effluent is discharged into the local water system, which ultimately drains into the Danube River basin. The Danube is a major European waterway that flows into the Black Sea, supporting diverse aquatic life and providing water for millions of people. The plant's operation helps protect the water quality of the Danube and its tributaries.

The plant discharges into the Danube River basin, which flows through Central and Eastern Europe before reaching the Black Sea. The Danube supports a rich ecosystem, including migratory fish species and diverse aquatic habitats. The region's water quality is influenced by agricultural runoff and industrial activities, making effective wastewater treatment crucial for maintaining ecological balance.
