Sárbogárd Szennyvíztisztító Telep is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Sárbogárd, a town in Fejér County within the Közép-Dunántúl region of Hungary. The plant serves a population of around 10,100 people, making it a medium-sized agglomeration under Hungarian and EU classification. 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 scale. The plant's designed capacity is 1.00 million m³/year, and it is expected to meet the directive's standards for organic load removal and, if discharging to sensitive areas, nutrient removal. The treated effluent is likely discharged into local watercourses that drain into the Danube River basin, ultimately reaching the Black Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting the region's surface waters from pollution, supporting aquatic life and downstream water quality in the Danube catchment.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into local streams that are part of the Danube River basin, which flows into the Black Sea. The region's water bodies support diverse aquatic ecosystems and are important for agriculture and biodiversity. Proper treatment helps prevent eutrophication and protects downstream habitats, including the Danube Delta, a major ecological zone.
