Vamospercs Szennyviztisztito Telep - Wastewater Treatment Plant in Vámospércs, Hungary

Vamospercs Szennyviztisztito Telep is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Vámospércs, a town in the Észak-Alföld region of Hungary. The plant serves a population of 646 and operates with a designed capacity of 1,000 cubic meters per day, currently discharging 76.15 cubic meters per day. As a secondary treatment plant, it provides biological treatment to reduce organic pollutants and suspended solids before discharge. As a Hungarian facility, the plant operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations with a population equivalent above 2,000. For smaller communities like Vámospércs, appropriate treatment is mandated to protect receiving waters. The plant's treatment process aligns with national regulations implementing the directive. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that drain into the Tisza River basin, part of the larger Danube River system. The surrounding Észak-Alföld region is characterized by flat plains and agricultural land, where wastewater treatment plays a key role in preventing nutrient pollution and protecting groundwater and surface water quality.

The plant discharges into local streams that flow into the Tisza River, a major tributary of the Danube. The Tisza basin supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor in Central Europe. The region's flat terrain and agricultural activity make nutrient management critical to prevent eutrophication in downstream water bodies.
