ALANO DI PIAVE CENTRO FENER Wastewater Treatment Plant, Fener, Veneto

ALANO DI PIAVE CENTRO FENER is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in Fener, a locality in the municipality of Setteville, Belluno province, Veneto, Italy. The plant serves a population of 3,560 and has a designed capacity of 6,000 m³/day, with an average discharge volume of 704.75 m³/day. As an advanced treatment facility, it goes beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants, aligning with the requirements of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for sensitive areas. The plant's scale places it in the small agglomeration category, for which secondary treatment is typically required, but the advanced level indicates additional nutrient removal to protect receiving waters. The plant discharges into the local water system within the Piave River basin, which flows into the Adriatic Sea. The Piave River supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor in the Veneto region. The advanced treatment helps minimize nutrient loading and protects downstream water quality.

The plant discharges into the Piave River basin, which flows southeast through Veneto and into the Adriatic Sea near Jesolo. The Piave River supports a variety of fish species and provides habitat for migratory birds. Advanced treatment at this plant reduces nitrogen and phosphorus loads, helping to prevent eutrophication in the sensitive coastal lagoon ecosystems of the northern Adriatic.
