Overview
Seduvos aglomeracija is a secondary wastewater treatment plant serving Šeduva, Lithuania. It treats wastewater for a population of 1,250 with a designed capacity of 2,730 m³/day.
Seduvos aglomeracija is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Šeduva, a town in the Šiauliai County of Lithuania. The facility serves a population of approximately 1,250 people, reflecting its role as a small-scale treatment infrastructure for the local community. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. The designed capacity of 2,730 m³/day indicates the plant's ability to handle peak flows, while the current discharge volume of 174.78 m³/day suggests operational headroom. Treated effluent from the plant is discharged into the local water system, which ultimately drains into the Lielupė River basin and the Baltic Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting downstream water quality in this ecologically sensitive region, supporting aquatic life and reducing nutrient loads to the Baltic Sea.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Lielupė River basin, which flows into the Baltic Sea. The Baltic Sea is a semi-enclosed brackish sea with limited water exchange, making it highly sensitive to nutrient pollution. The plant's secondary treatment helps reduce organic matter and nutrient loads, contributing to the health of downstream aquatic ecosystems and supporting regional efforts to combat eutrophication.
