Overview
Nemezio aglomeracija is a secondary treatment plant serving Daržininkai, Lithuania, with a designed capacity of 5,600 m³/day and serving 760 people.
Nemezio aglomeracija is a wastewater treatment plant located in Daržininkai, Vilniaus apskritis, Lithuania. It serves a small population of 760 people and has a designed capacity of 5,600 m³/day, indicating it is sized for future growth or seasonal flows. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard level required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive for agglomerations of this size in non-sensitive areas. The plant's discharge volume is 106.27 m³/day, well below its designed capacity. As a secondary treatment facility, it removes organic matter and suspended solids but does not include advanced nutrient removal. The plant operates under Lithuanian regulations that implement EU directives, ensuring compliance with effluent standards. The treated effluent is discharged into local surface waters, likely tributaries of the Neris River, which flows into the Nemunas River and eventually the Curonian Lagoon and Baltic Sea. The plant plays a role in protecting these water bodies from pollution, supporting aquatic life and downstream ecosystems.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into local streams that feed the Neris River, a major tributary of the Nemunas River. The Nemunas flows into the Curonian Lagoon, a sensitive ecosystem that supports diverse aquatic life and is an important migratory corridor for birds. The lagoon connects to the Baltic Sea, making nutrient and pollutant control critical for preventing eutrophication in these waters.

The plant provides secondary treatment, which removes organic matter and suspended solids. This is the standard level required for small agglomerations under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive.
Treated wastewater is discharged into local surface waters, likely tributaries of the Neris River, which flows into the Nemunas River and eventually the Baltic Sea.
The plant operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), implemented through Lithuanian national regulations. For agglomerations under 2,000 population equivalent, secondary treatment is typically required unless the receiving waters are sensitive.
For small agglomerations like this, secondary treatment is standard. The plant's designed capacity of 5,600 m³/day suggests it may also serve industrial or seasonal loads, or is planned for expansion.
