Overview
Tomor Szennyviztisztito Telep is an advanced wastewater treatment plant serving 133 people in Tomor, Hungary. It has a designed capacity of 200 m³/day and discharges 15.68 m³/day of treated effluent.
Tomor Szennyviztisztito Telep is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Tomor, a village in the Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén county of northern Hungary. The plant serves a small population of 133 residents, reflecting its role in a rural community. It operates under Hungary's implementation of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which sets standards for wastewater collection and treatment. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, ensuring a high level of effluent quality. With a designed capacity of 200 m³/day and an actual discharge volume of 15.68 m³/day, the facility operates well below its capacity, indicating room for future growth or seasonal variations. The advanced treatment level typically includes nutrient removal, which is important for protecting sensitive receiving waters. The treated wastewater is discharged into local water bodies that eventually drain into the Tisza River basin, a major tributary of the Danube. The Danube ultimately flows into the Black Sea. The plant's advanced treatment helps safeguard the ecological health of these downstream waters, supporting aquatic biodiversity and water quality in the region.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into local streams that feed into the Tisza River, part of the larger Danube basin. The Tisza River supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor in Central Europe. Advanced treatment at this plant reduces nutrient loads, helping to prevent eutrophication in downstream lakes and the Black Sea.
