Mogyorosbanya Szennyviztisztito Telep - Advanced Wastewater Treatment in Mogyorósbánya, Hungary

Mogyorosbanya Szennyviztisztito Telep is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in Mogyorósbánya, a village in Komárom-Esztergom county, Hungary. The plant serves a population of approximately 1,358 people, reflecting its role in managing domestic wastewater for this small agglomeration. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond the secondary treatment standard required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. With a designed capacity of 667 m³/day and a current discharge volume of 160.08 m³/day, the facility operates well within its capacity, ensuring effective treatment. The treated effluent is discharged into a local watercourse that ultimately drains into the Danube River basin, contributing to the protection of the Danube's water quality. The plant's advanced treatment helps reduce nutrient loads and protect downstream aquatic ecosystems in the Danube and the Black Sea.

The plant discharges into a local stream that flows into the Danube River, which then empties into the Black Sea. The Danube basin supports diverse aquatic life and is an important migratory corridor for fish species. Advanced treatment at this plant helps minimize nutrient pollution, protecting the ecological health of the downstream river and sea.
