Tevel Szennyviztisztito Telep - Advanced Wastewater Treatment in Kisdorog, Hungary

Tevel Szennyviztisztito Telep is an advanced wastewater treatment facility located in Kisdorog, within the Tolna county of Hungary's Dél-Dunántúl region. The plant serves a population of approximately 1,800 residents and has a designed capacity of 1,700 cubic meters per day, with a reported discharge volume of 212.19 cubic meters per day. As an advanced treatment plant, it goes beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants, meeting stringent effluent standards. Under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), Hungary requires appropriate treatment for agglomerations of this size, and advanced treatment is typical in sensitive areas to protect water quality. The plant's treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Danube River basin, which flows into the Black Sea. The facility plays a key role in protecting downstream aquatic ecosystems and supporting the region's water quality goals.

The plant discharges into the Danube River basin, which flows through Hungary and several other countries before reaching the Black Sea. The receiving waters support diverse aquatic life and are important for regional biodiversity. The advanced treatment helps reduce nutrient loads, protecting downstream ecosystems from eutrophication.
