Oczyszczalnia Sciekow Komunalnych w Sulowie - Secondary Treatment Plant in Sułów, Poland

Oczyszczalnia Sciekow Komunalnych w Sulowie is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Sułów, within the Milicz district of Lower Silesia, Poland. The plant serves a population of 1,772, classifying it as a small agglomeration under Polish and EU regulations. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the minimum standard required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. With a designed capacity of 4,625 m³/day and a current discharge volume of 252.66 m³/day, the facility operates well below its capacity, indicating room for future growth. The treated effluent is discharged into a local watercourse that feeds into the Barycz River, a tributary of the Oder River. The Oder flows northward to the Baltic Sea. The plant's operation helps protect the sensitive aquatic ecosystems of the Barycz Valley, which supports diverse wildlife and is part of a larger network of protected areas in the region.

The plant discharges into a local stream that flows into the Barycz River, a major tributary of the Oder River. The Oder ultimately reaches the Baltic Sea. The Barycz Valley is an ecologically sensitive area, supporting diverse aquatic life and serving as an important migratory corridor for birds. The plant's secondary treatment helps reduce nutrient loads, protecting downstream water quality.
