Ujbarok Szennyviztisztito Telep - Advanced Wastewater Treatment in Óbarok, Hungary

Ujbarok Szennyviztisztito Telep is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in Óbarok, within the Bicskei district of Fejér county, Hungary. The facility serves a population of approximately 5,350 and has a designed capacity of 3,500 m³/day, with an average discharge volume of 630.67 m³/day. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants. As a Hungarian facility, it operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires advanced treatment for agglomerations discharging into sensitive areas. The plant's scale places it in the small-to-medium agglomeration category. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that eventually drain into the Danube River basin, which flows into the Black Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting downstream water quality in the region, supporting aquatic ecosystems and reducing nutrient loading in the Danube catchment.

The plant discharges into the Danube River basin, which ultimately flows into the Black Sea. The Danube is a major European waterway supporting diverse aquatic life and providing drinking water for millions. Advanced treatment at this plant helps reduce nutrient pollution, protecting downstream ecosystems from eutrophication and maintaining water quality in the sensitive Danube delta region.
