Overview
Narol wastewater treatment plant in Podkarpackie, Poland, serves 2,393 people with secondary treatment. It discharges 341.20 m³/day and has a designed capacity of 6,000 m³/day.
The Narol wastewater treatment plant is located in the village of Krupiec, near the town of Narol, in the Podkarpackie region of southeastern Poland. The facility serves a population of 2,393 and operates with secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment required under Polish and EU regulations for agglomerations of this size. As a secondary treatment plant, Narol removes organic matter and suspended solids through biological processes, meeting the effluent quality standards set by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC). The plant has a designed capacity of 6,000 m³/day and currently treats an average daily flow of 341.20 m³, indicating significant spare capacity for future growth. The treated effluent is discharged into local waterways that ultimately drain into the San River basin, a tributary of the Vistula River. The Vistula flows northward through Poland into the Baltic Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting the region's surface waters from nutrient pollution and safeguarding aquatic ecosystems in the downstream catchment.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the San River basin, which flows into the Vistula River and eventually reaches the Baltic Sea. The area supports diverse aquatic life, including fish species such as salmon and trout in the upper reaches. Secondary treatment reduces organic load and helps prevent eutrophication in downstream waters, which is critical for maintaining water quality in the sensitive Baltic Sea ecosystem.
