AUBIGNY La Tournerie Wastewater Treatment Plant, Aubigny-Les Clouzeaux, France

AUBIGNY La Tournerie is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in Aubigny-Les Clouzeaux, in the Pays de la Loire region of France. The plant serves a population of 1,767 and has a designed capacity of 3,000 m³/day, with a current discharge volume of 315.23 m³/day. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants. As a French facility, it operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires appropriate treatment for agglomerations of this size. The plant's advanced treatment level aligns with the directive's standards for sensitive areas. The treated effluent is discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Atlantic Ocean via the Vendée River and the Bay of Biscay. The plant plays a key role in protecting downstream aquatic ecosystems and supporting water quality in the region.

The plant discharges into the local watershed, which flows into the Vendée River and eventually reaches the Bay of Biscay in the Atlantic Ocean. This coastal region supports diverse marine life and is important for fisheries. The advanced treatment helps minimize nutrient loading and protects the sensitive downstream environment from eutrophication.
