Turricse Szennyviztisztito Telep | Secondary Wastewater Treatment in Csegöld, Hungary

Turricse Szennyviztisztito Telep is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Csegöld, in the Észak-Alföld region of Hungary. The plant serves a population of approximately 2,258 people, classifying it as a small agglomeration under EU regulations. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for discharges into freshwater bodies. The designed capacity is 5,598 cubic meters per day, with a reported discharge volume of 266.18 cubic meters per day, indicating the plant operates well below its capacity. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that drain into the Tisza River basin, a major tributary of the Danube River. The Tisza River supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor in Central Europe. The plant's location inland, away from coastal areas, reduces direct marine impact.

The plant discharges into local streams that flow into the Tisza River, which eventually joins the Danube River before reaching the Black Sea. The Tisza River basin is ecologically significant, supporting diverse fish populations and migratory bird species. The region's flat terrain and agricultural land use mean that nutrient removal is important to prevent eutrophication in downstream waters.
