Bollebygds avloppsreningsverk is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Bollebygd, Västra Götaland County, Sweden. The plant serves a population of around 3,600 people and has a design capacity of 6,000 cubic meters per day, with an average discharge volume of 566 cubic meters per day. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond the secondary treatment required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. This level of treatment typically includes nutrient removal, reducing the environmental impact on receiving waters. Treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that eventually drain into the Göta älv river system and the Kattegat sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting downstream aquatic ecosystems and maintaining water quality in the region.
Environmental context
