Moheda avloppsreningsverk - Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant in Moheda, Sweden

Moheda avloppsreningsverk is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Moheda, Alvesta kommun, Kronobergs län, Sweden. The plant serves a population of approximately 2,900 people and has a designed capacity of 4,500 m³ per day, with an average discharge volume of about 455 m³ per day. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond the secondary treatment requirements mandated by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. Advanced treatment typically includes nutrient removal (nitrogen and phosphorus) to protect sensitive receiving waters. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that eventually drain into the Baltic Sea via the Mörrumsån river system. The plant plays a key role in protecting downstream aquatic ecosystems and maintaining water quality in the region.

The plant discharges into local streams that are part of the Mörrumsån drainage basin, which flows into the Baltic Sea. The Baltic Sea is a brackish water body sensitive to nutrient pollution, making advanced treatment crucial for preventing eutrophication. The surrounding area includes forests and agricultural land, and the plant helps maintain ecological balance in the watershed.
