OS Bobrek Wastewater Treatment Plant, Bytom, Silesian Voivodeship, Poland

OS Bobrek is a wastewater treatment facility located in the Bobrek district of Bytom, within the Silesian Voivodeship of southern Poland. The plant serves a population of approximately 4,166 residents and operates with advanced treatment processes, ensuring high-quality effluent standards. The plant's designed capacity is 2,700 m³/day, with an average daily discharge volume of 594.01 m³/day, indicating it operates well below its capacity. As an advanced treatment facility, it likely incorporates nutrient removal and other tertiary processes to meet stringent Polish and EU water quality requirements. The treated effluent is discharged into local waterways that ultimately drain into the Vistula River basin, which flows northward to the Baltic Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting the region's water resources and supporting the ecological health of the surrounding area.

OS Bobrek discharges into the local drainage network that feeds into the Vistula River, Poland's largest river, which flows into the Baltic Sea. The Vistula basin supports diverse aquatic life and is ecologically sensitive, particularly in its lower reaches where migratory fish species depend on good water quality. The plant's advanced treatment helps reduce nutrient loads that could otherwise contribute to eutrophication in the Baltic Sea.
