The REVIN wastewater treatment plant is located in Revin, within the Grand Est region of France, near the Meuse River. It serves a population of approximately 5,069 people, classifying it as a small to medium agglomeration under EU regulations. The plant is situated inland, away from coastal areas, and operates as part of the municipal wastewater infrastructure for the Ardennes department. 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. With a designed capacity of 12,000 m³/day and an average daily discharge of 904.30 m³/day, the facility operates well below its capacity, indicating room for future growth or seasonal variations. The advanced treatment level ensures high-quality effluent suitable for discharge into sensitive environments. The treated effluent is discharged into the Meuse River basin, which flows through France, Belgium, and the Netherlands before reaching the North Sea. The Meuse River supports diverse aquatic life and is an important water resource for the region. The plant's advanced treatment helps protect the river's water quality and downstream ecosystems, including the Rhine-Meuse delta.
Environmental context
The REVIN plant discharges into the Meuse River basin, which flows northward through the Ardennes region and eventually drains into the North Sea via the Rhine-Meuse delta. The Meuse River supports a variety of fish species and is a critical habitat for migratory birds. The advanced treatment at this facility helps maintain the river's ecological health, particularly in a region known for its forested landscapes and biodiversity.
