Svalovs avloppsreningsverk - Advanced Wastewater Treatment in Svalöv, Sweden

Svalovs avloppsreningsverk is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Svalöv, Skåne County, Sweden. The plant serves a population of approximately 3,657 people and has a designed capacity of 3,600 cubic meters per day, with an average discharge volume of 574.08 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. Advanced treatment typically includes nutrient removal (nitrogen and phosphorus) to protect sensitive receiving waters. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that drain into the Öresund strait, part of the Baltic Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting downstream aquatic ecosystems and the coastal environment of southern Sweden.

The plant discharges into local streams that flow into the Rönne River system, which ultimately reaches the Öresund strait between Sweden and Denmark. The Baltic Sea is a semi-enclosed, brackish sea sensitive to nutrient pollution, making advanced treatment important for controlling eutrophication and supporting marine biodiversity.
