Nagyigmand Szennyviztisztito Telep - Advanced Wastewater Treatment in Nagyigmánd, Hungary

Nagyigmand Szennyviztisztito Telep is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in Nagyigmánd, in the Közép-Dunántúl region of Hungary. The plant serves a population of approximately 2,599 and is part of the municipal infrastructure for the Komárom-Esztergom county. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants. With a designed capacity of 2750 m³/day and an actual discharge volume of 306.37 m³/day, the plant operates well below its capacity, indicating room for future growth. As a Hungarian facility, it operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which mandates appropriate treatment levels based on the size of the agglomeration and the sensitivity of the receiving waters. The treated effluent is discharged into local waterways that eventually drain into the Danube River basin, a major European river system. The plant's advanced treatment helps protect downstream aquatic ecosystems and supports water quality in the region, which is part of the larger Danube catchment area.

The plant discharges into local streams that flow into the Danube River basin, ultimately reaching the Black Sea. The region's water bodies support diverse aquatic life and are important for agriculture and biodiversity. Advanced treatment at this plant helps reduce nutrient loading, protecting downstream ecosystems from eutrophication.
