Overview
OS typu LEMNA is a secondary wastewater treatment plant serving Złochowice, Poland. It treats wastewater from 848 people with a designed capacity of 3,500 m³/day.
OS typu LEMNA is a wastewater treatment plant located in Złochowice, a village in the Silesian Voivodeship of southern Poland. The plant serves a population of 848 and has a designed capacity of 3,500 cubic meters per day, with an average discharge volume of 120.91 m³/day. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. The directive mandates secondary treatment for populations between 2,000 and 10,000, and Poland has implemented this through national regulations. The plant's capacity suggests it can accommodate future growth or seasonal variations. The treated effluent is discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Warta River basin and then the Oder River, flowing into the Baltic Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting local water quality and the downstream aquatic environment from nutrient pollution.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Warta River catchment, part of the Oder River basin that flows into the Baltic Sea. The region is characterized by agricultural land use, which can contribute nutrient runoff. The plant's secondary treatment helps reduce organic load and nutrients, supporting the ecological health of the Warta and Oder rivers, which are important habitats for fish and migratory birds.
