Oczyszczalnia sciekow w Przemkowie - Secondary Wastewater Treatment in Przemków, Poland

Oczyszczalnia sciekow w Przemkowie is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Przemków, a town in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship of Poland. The plant serves a population of approximately 4,136 residents, providing secondary treatment to manage domestic wastewater from the community. As a secondary treatment facility, the plant meets the standard requirements under Polish regulations, which align with the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC). For agglomerations of this size (under 10,000 population equivalent), secondary treatment is typically sufficient to protect receiving waters. The plant has a designed capacity of 9,010 m³/day, with an average discharge volume of 589.73 m³/day, indicating ample capacity for current loads. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that eventually drain into the Oder River basin. This contributes to the protection of the Baltic Sea ecosystem by reducing nutrient and pollutant loads. The plant plays a key role in maintaining water quality in the region's rivers and supporting downstream aquatic habitats.

The plant discharges into local streams that are part of the Oder River basin, which flows into the Baltic Sea. The Oder basin supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor in Central Europe. Proper treatment helps reduce eutrophication risks in the Baltic Sea, a sensitive marine environment.
