Germany 7343
Greece 357
Netherlands 969
Austria 808
Finland 624

The average capacity works out to 623kg BOD5/day. This is size band 4 (see below.)
http://europa.eu.int/comm/eurostat/newcronos/suite/retrieve/en/theme8/milieu/water/iwq5?OutputDir=EJOutputDir_2559&clientsessionid=5F4C024024A162D1F26A2DAB23DE6D2F.extraction-anonymous-worker-1&OutputFile=iwq5.htm&OutputMode=U&OutputMime=text%252Fhtml&

Size of facilities.
Size band 1 <= 15 kg BOD5/day (population equivalent 0-250)
Size band 2 >15 but <=30kg BOD5/day (population equivalent 250-500)
Size band 3 >30 but <=120kg BOD 5/day (population equivalent 500-2000)
Size band 4>120 but<=600kg BOD5/day (population equivalent 2,000-10,000)
Size band 5>600 but<=1500kg BOD5/day (population equivalent 10,000-15,000)
Size band 8 > 1500Kg BOD5/day.

Average size.
Calculated by ignoring band 1 and band 8, the average is 562.5 kg BOD5/day.
