Ocsod Szennyviztisztito Telep - Advanced Wastewater Treatment in Öcsöd, Hungary

Ocsod Szennyviztisztito Telep is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in Öcsöd, a town in the Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok county of Hungary's Northern Great Plain region. The plant serves a population of 1,137, reflecting its role in managing municipal wastewater for this small agglomeration. The facility employs advanced treatment processes, ensuring a high level of pollutant removal. With a designed capacity of 2,500 m³/day and a current discharge volume of 134.03 m³/day, the plant operates well below its capacity. As a Hungarian facility, it complies with national regulations that transpose the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive, which mandates appropriate treatment for settlements of this size. The treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies that ultimately drain into the Tisza River basin, part of the larger Danube River system. This discharge supports the ecological health of the region's waterways, which are important for biodiversity and agricultural use in the Great Plain.

The plant's discharge enters the local drainage network, which flows into the Tisza River, a major tributary of the Danube. The Tisza basin supports diverse aquatic life and is ecologically sensitive, particularly in the Great Plain region where water resources are vital for agriculture and wetlands. Advanced treatment helps protect downstream water quality and the ecological balance of the Tisza-Danube system.
