Landsbro avloppsreningsverk - Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant in Landsbro, Sweden

Landsbro avloppsreningsverk is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Landsbro, Vetlanda kommun, Sweden. The plant serves a population of approximately 2,301 residents, classifying it as a small agglomeration under Swedish and EU regulations. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond the secondary treatment standard required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. With a designed capacity of 2,143 cubic meters per day and an average discharge volume of 361.21 cubic meters per day, the facility operates well within its capacity. The treated effluent is discharged into the local watercourse, contributing to the protection of downstream ecosystems. The plant plays a key role in safeguarding water quality in the region, which ultimately drains into the Baltic Sea via the Emån river system.

The plant discharges into the Årydström watercourse, a tributary of the Emån river system. The Emån flows through the Småland region and empties into the Baltic Sea near Oskarshamn. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life, including salmonid fish populations, and is ecologically sensitive due to its role in maintaining water quality in the Baltic Sea catchment.
