Sutto Szennyviztisztito telep is an advanced wastewater treatment facility located in Kravany nad Dunajom, Nitriansky kraj, Hungary. The plant serves a population of approximately 4,400 and has a designed capacity of 7,500 cubic meters per day, with a current discharge volume of about 520 m³/day. As an advanced treatment plant, it goes beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants, meeting stringent standards under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC). For agglomerations of this size (under 10,000 PE), the directive requires appropriate treatment, and advanced treatment is often applied in sensitive areas to protect water quality. The plant discharges treated wastewater into the Danube River basin, which flows into the Black Sea. The Danube is a major European waterway supporting diverse aquatic life and providing drinking water for millions. The advanced treatment helps reduce nutrient loads, mitigating eutrophication risks in the Black Sea.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent enters the Danube River system, which drains into the Black Sea. The Danube basin is ecologically significant, hosting numerous fish species and migratory birds. Advanced treatment at this plant helps control nutrient pollution, reducing the risk of algal blooms and oxygen depletion in downstream waters.
