Szabolcsveresmart Szennyviztisztito Telep is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Szabolcsveresmart, a village in the Észak-Alföld region of Hungary. The plant serves a population of 710 and has a designed capacity of 1650 m³/day, with a current discharge volume of 83.70 m³/day. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond the secondary treatment required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. This level of treatment ensures high-quality effluent suitable for discharge into sensitive environments. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that eventually drain into the Tisza River basin, a major tributary of the Danube. The plant's advanced treatment helps protect downstream aquatic ecosystems and supports water quality in the region.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into local streams that flow into the Tisza River, a major tributary of the Danube River, which ultimately reaches the Black Sea. The Tisza basin supports diverse aquatic life and is ecologically sensitive, making advanced treatment important for maintaining water quality and ecosystem health.
