Magocs Szennyviztisztito Telep - Advanced Wastewater Treatment in Mágocs, Hungary

Magocs Szennyviztisztito Telep is a wastewater treatment facility located in Mágocs, a small town in the Dél-Dunántúl region of Hungary. The plant serves a population of about 2,500 people, reflecting its role in managing municipal wastewater for this rural community. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, ensuring a high level of pollutant removal before discharge. With a designed capacity of 2,100 m³/day and an actual discharge volume of 294.47 m³/day, the facility operates well below its capacity, indicating potential for future growth or seasonal variations. As a Hungarian plant, it operates under national regulations that transpose the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which mandates appropriate treatment for agglomerations of this size. The treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies that eventually drain into the Danube River basin, contributing to the broader Black Sea catchment. The advanced treatment helps protect downstream aquatic ecosystems and supports water quality in the region's streams and rivers.

The plant discharges into local waterways that are part of the Danube River basin, which flows into the Black Sea. The Dél-Dunántúl region features a mix of agricultural and natural landscapes, and the advanced treatment helps minimize nutrient and pollutant loads, protecting sensitive freshwater habitats and supporting biodiversity in the downstream environment.
