Nyiracsad Szennyviztisztito Telep - Advanced Wastewater Treatment in Vámospércs, Hungary

Nyiracsad Szennyviztisztito Telep is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in Vámospércs, within the Nyíradonyi district of Hajdú-Bihar county, Hungary. The plant serves a population of approximately 2,970, making it a small-scale facility under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (UWWTD). The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants. With a designed capacity of 3,417 m³/day and a current discharge volume of 350.11 m³/day, the facility operates well below its capacity, indicating potential for future growth. As a Hungarian plant, it operates under national regulations that transpose the EU UWWTD, which mandates appropriate treatment levels based on population equivalents and receiving water sensitivity. The treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies that eventually drain into the Tisza River basin, a major tributary of the Danube. The region's aquatic ecosystems benefit from the advanced treatment, which reduces nutrient loading and protects downstream water quality in the Tisza and Danube rivers.

The plant discharges into local streams that flow into the Tisza River, a major tributary of the Danube River, which ultimately reaches the Black Sea. The Tisza basin supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor. Advanced treatment at this plant helps reduce nutrient pollution, protecting downstream habitats from eutrophication.
