Nagykata szennyviztisztito Telep - Advanced Wastewater Treatment in Pest vármegye, Hungary

Nagykata szennyviztisztito Telep is an advanced wastewater treatment facility located in the Nagykátai járás of Pest vármegye, Hungary. The plant serves a population of 2,298 and has a designed capacity of 7,917 cubic meters per day, with a discharge volume of 270.89 cubic meters per day. As an advanced treatment plant, it provides a higher level of pollutant removal than secondary treatment, which is typical for sensitive areas under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC). For agglomerations of this size (under 10,000 population equivalent), the directive requires appropriate treatment, and Hungary's implementation ensures compliance with national water quality standards. The plant's treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Tisza River basin, a major tributary of the Danube. This contributes to the protection of downstream ecosystems, including the Danube Delta, a critical habitat for diverse aquatic species.

The plant discharges into local streams that flow into the Tisza River, a major tributary of the Danube. The Danube River basin supports a rich diversity of fish and bird species, and its delta is an ecologically sensitive area. Advanced treatment helps reduce nutrient loading, protecting downstream water quality and aquatic habitats.
