Overview
Nyarlorinc Szennyviztisztito Telep is a secondary treatment plant serving 1,322 people in Kecskemét, Hungary. It discharges 155.84 m³/day of treated wastewater into local water bodies.
Nyarlorinc Szennyviztisztito Telep is a wastewater treatment facility located in the Dél-Alföld region of Hungary, serving the city of Kecskemét. The plant provides secondary treatment for a population of 1,322, with a designed capacity of 2,200 m³/day and an actual discharge volume of 155.84 m³/day. As a small agglomeration in Hungary, the plant operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive 91/271/EEC, which requires secondary treatment for inland plants serving between 2,000 and 10,000 population equivalents. For smaller agglomerations like this one, secondary treatment is still recommended to protect water quality. The treated effluent is discharged into local waterways that drain into the Tisza River basin, ultimately reaching the Danube River and the Black Sea. The plant plays a role in protecting the region's aquatic ecosystems from nutrient pollution and organic load.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Tisza River basin, a major tributary of the Danube. The Tisza supports diverse aquatic life and is an important migratory corridor for fish species. Downstream, the Danube flows into the Black Sea, where nutrient inputs can contribute to eutrophication. The secondary treatment at this plant helps reduce organic and nutrient loads, protecting both local streams and the broader Danube-Black Sea ecosystem.
