Nagycenk Szennyviztisztito Telep is an advanced wastewater treatment facility located in Nagycenk, a town in Győr-Moson-Sopron county, Hungary. The plant serves a population of approximately 6,900 and has a designed capacity of 6,250 cubic meters per day, with an average discharge volume of 814.68 cubic meters per day. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants. As a Hungarian facility, it operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires advanced treatment for agglomerations over 10,000 population equivalent in sensitive areas. Although Nagycenk's population is below this threshold, the advanced treatment level indicates a commitment to high effluent quality. The treated wastewater is discharged into local watercourses that eventually drain into the Danube River basin, which flows into the Black Sea. The plant's advanced treatment helps protect downstream aquatic ecosystems and supports water quality in the region's surface waters.

The plant discharges into local streams that are part of the Danube River basin, ultimately reaching the Black Sea. The region's water bodies support diverse aquatic life and are important for agriculture and recreation. Advanced treatment reduces nutrient loads, helping to prevent eutrophication in downstream lakes and coastal areas.
