Ange reningsverk - Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant in Borgsjö distrikt, Sweden

Ange reningsverk is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Borgsjö distrikt, within Ånge kommun, Västernorrlands län, Sweden. The plant serves a population of 1,877 and operates with advanced treatment technology, ensuring high-quality effluent standards. The plant's designed capacity is 6,000 m³/day, with an actual discharge volume of 294.65 m³/day, indicating significant reserve capacity. As an advanced treatment facility, it likely incorporates nutrient removal processes to meet Swedish environmental standards, which align with the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for sensitive areas. The treated effluent is discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Baltic Sea via the Ljungan River system. The plant plays a key role in protecting downstream aquatic ecosystems and supporting the region's water quality objectives.

The plant discharges into the Borgsjö area, part of the Ljungan River catchment that flows into the Bothnian Sea, a basin of the Baltic Sea. The Baltic Sea is sensitive to eutrophication, making advanced nutrient removal critical. The surrounding region features boreal forests and wetlands that support diverse aquatic life, and the plant's advanced treatment helps mitigate nutrient loading.
