Oskarstroms ARV Ref 145004 - Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant in Oskarström, Sweden

Oskarstroms ARV Ref 145004 is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Oskarström, Halmstads kommun, Hallands län, Sweden. The plant serves a population of approximately 4,665, classifying it as a small to medium 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 sensitive areas. With a designed capacity of 5,000 cubic meters per day and a discharge volume of 732.32 cubic meters per day, the facility operates well within its capacity, ensuring effective treatment of wastewater. The treated effluent is discharged into the local water system, which ultimately drains into the Kattegat, a part of the North Sea. This region supports diverse marine life and is important for both local fisheries and recreational activities. The plant's advanced treatment helps minimize nutrient loading and protect the downstream aquatic environment.

The plant discharges into a local watercourse that flows through the Halland region and eventually reaches the Kattegat, a sea area between Sweden and Denmark. The Kattegat is an ecologically sensitive marine environment that supports diverse fish populations and serves as a migratory corridor for seabirds. Advanced treatment at the plant reduces the risk of eutrophication and protects water quality in this important coastal ecosystem.
