Rackeresztur szennyviztisztito telep - Wastewater Treatment Plant in Ráckeresztúr, Hungary

Rackeresztur szennyviztisztito telep is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Ráckeresztúr, a town in Fejér county within the Közép-Dunántúl region of Hungary. The plant serves a population of around 10,100 people, placing it in the small-to-medium agglomeration category under Hungarian and EU classifications. As a Hungarian facility, the plant operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size. The directive also mandates more stringent treatment if the receiving waters are designated as sensitive areas. The plant is expected to meet these regulatory standards. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Danube River basin. The Danube flows through Hungary and into the Black Sea, making the plant's operations important for downstream water quality. The surrounding area is part of the Central Transdanubian region, characterized by agricultural and small urban settlements.

The plant discharges into local streams that feed into the Danube River, which flows through Hungary and into the Black Sea. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor. The region's agricultural activities mean that nutrient removal is a key concern to prevent eutrophication downstream.
