Dingle avloppsreningsverk - Advanced Wastewater Treatment in Dingle, Sweden

Dingle avloppsreningsverk is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Dingle, within Munkedals kommun, Västra Götalands län, Sweden. The plant serves a population of 2,349 and is designed to handle up to 4,000 m³ of wastewater per day, with an average daily discharge of 368.75 m³. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, ensuring high-quality effluent before discharge. As a Swedish facility, it operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which mandates advanced treatment for sensitive areas and agglomerations of this scale to protect water quality. The treated effluent is discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Skagerrak via the nearby coast. The plant's proximity to the coast (within 10 km) underscores the importance of its advanced treatment in safeguarding marine ecosystems and coastal waters.

The plant discharges into the local watershed that flows into the Skagerrak, a part of the North Sea. This coastal area supports diverse marine life and is an important ecological zone. The advanced treatment ensures minimal nutrient and pollutant loading, protecting the sensitive coastal environment from eutrophication and other impacts.
