FLO26 BRENDOYVN_KYSTMUSEET Wastewater Treatment Plant, Florø, Norway

FLO26 BRENDOYVN_KYSTMUSEET is a wastewater treatment plant located in Florø, a coastal town in Vestland county, Norway. The plant serves a small population of 500 people, reflecting its role in a rural or peri-urban setting. It operates under Norway's implementation of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which mandates secondary treatment for agglomerations of this scale. The plant provides secondary treatment, a standard biological process that removes organic matter and suspended solids. Its designed capacity is 800 m³/day, and it currently treats an average daily flow of 216.84 m³/day, indicating ample reserve capacity. As a coastal facility, the treated effluent is discharged into the marine environment, likely via a local fjord or the North Sea. The plant's discharge enters the coastal waters of western Norway, an ecologically productive region supporting fisheries and marine biodiversity. The area is part of the larger North Sea basin, which is influenced by the Norwegian Coastal Current. Proper treatment helps protect local marine habitats from nutrient overloading and pollution.

The plant discharges into the coastal waters of the North Sea near Florø, within the Vestland fjord region. This area supports diverse marine life, including fish stocks and seabird colonies. The treated effluent contributes to the nutrient balance of the coastal ecosystem, and secondary treatment reduces the risk of eutrophication in the sensitive fjord environment.
