Rozsaszentmarton Szennyviztisztito Telep - Advanced Wastewater Treatment in Jászberény, Hungary

Rozsaszentmarton Szennyviztisztito Telep is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in Jászberény, within the Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok county of Hungary's Észak-Alföld region. The plant serves a population of approximately 1,132, classifying it as a small agglomeration under Hungarian and EU regulations. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants. With a designed capacity of 2,124 m³/day and a current discharge volume of 133.44 m³/day, the plant operates well below its capacity. As a Hungarian facility, it operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which mandates appropriate treatment levels based on receiving water sensitivity. The treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies that eventually drain into the Tisza River basin, part of the larger Danube River system. This region is ecologically important, supporting diverse aquatic life and contributing to the water quality of the Danube Delta and the Black Sea. The advanced treatment helps protect downstream ecosystems from nutrient pollution.

The plant discharges into the Tisza River basin, which flows into the Danube River and ultimately reaches the Black Sea. This watershed supports diverse aquatic habitats and is important for migratory fish species. The advanced treatment level helps reduce nutrient loads, protecting downstream water quality in the ecologically sensitive Danube Delta region.
