Przemet Wastewater Treatment Plant, Przemęt, Wielkopolskie, Poland

The Przemet wastewater treatment plant is located in Przemęt, a town in the Wielkopolskie region of Poland. It serves a population of approximately 1,025 people, classifying it as a small agglomeration under Polish and EU regulations. The plant provides advanced treatment, ensuring high-quality effluent before discharge. With a designed capacity of 5,000 m³/day and an actual discharge volume of 146.15 m³/day, the plant operates well below its capacity. As an advanced treatment facility, it likely incorporates nutrient removal processes to meet stringent Polish and EU standards for sensitive areas. The plant is subject to the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires appropriate treatment for small agglomerations. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that eventually drain into the Oder River basin, flowing northward to the Baltic Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting the region's water quality, supporting aquatic ecosystems and downstream communities.

The plant discharges into local streams that are part of the Oder River basin, which flows into the Baltic Sea. The region's watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is important for migratory fish species. Advanced treatment helps minimize nutrient loading, reducing the risk of eutrophication in downstream waters.
