Porcsalma Szennyviztisztito Telep - Győrtelek Secondary Wastewater Treatment Plant

Porcsalma Szennyviztisztito Telep is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Győrtelek, within the Észak-Alföld region of Hungary. The facility serves a population of approximately 3,200 people and is designed to handle a capacity of 4,200 m³ per day, with an average discharge volume of 377.22 m³/day. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard level required under Hungarian and EU regulations for agglomerations of this size. As a member state of the European Union, Hungary implements the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which mandates secondary treatment for all discharges from agglomerations with a population equivalent above 2,000. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that drain into the broader Tisza River basin, ultimately reaching the Danube River and the Black Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting the region's water quality and supporting the ecological health of downstream aquatic environments.

The plant discharges into local streams that are part of the Tisza River basin, which flows into the Danube and then the Black Sea. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor in the Carpathian Basin. The secondary treatment process helps reduce nutrient loads and organic pollutants, mitigating eutrophication risks in downstream water bodies.
