Tat Szennyviztisztito Telep - Tokod Wastewater Treatment Plant, Hungary

Tat Szennyviztisztito Telep is a wastewater treatment plant located in Tokod, Hungary, within the Közép-Dunántúl region. The plant serves a population of approximately 9,266 people, placing it in the small to medium agglomeration category under 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 directive also mandates more advanced treatment if the receiving waters are designated as sensitive areas. The plant's treatment processes are designed to meet these regulatory standards. The treated effluent is discharged into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Danube River basin. The Danube is a major European river supporting diverse aquatic ecosystems and providing water for millions of people. Proper treatment at this plant helps protect downstream water quality and ecological health.

The plant discharges into the Danube River basin, which flows through Hungary and into the Black Sea. The Danube supports a rich diversity of fish and bird species and is an important migratory corridor. Protecting water quality in this basin is critical for maintaining the ecological balance of the river and its delta.
