Overview
CARBONERA_VIA_BIANCHINI is a wastewater treatment plant serving Carbonera, Veneto, Italy. It handles a population equivalent of 48,633 and operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive.
CARBONERA_VIA_BIANCHINI is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Carbonera, a town in the Veneto region of northeastern Italy. The facility serves a population equivalent of 48,633, classifying it as a medium-sized agglomeration under EU regulations. The plant is situated in the province of Treviso, an area known for its agricultural and industrial activities. As an Italian plant, CARBONERA_VIA_BIANCHINI operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size. The directive also mandates more stringent treatment if the discharge enters sensitive areas. This suggests it may be a small facility relative to the population served, or the capacity figure may be in cubic meters per day. The treated effluent from the plant is discharged into local watercourses that ultimately drain into the Adriatic Sea via the Sile River or other nearby rivers. The Veneto region features a network of rivers and canals that support diverse aquatic ecosystems and agricultural irrigation. Proper treatment is essential to protect downstream water quality and the ecological health of the Adriatic coastal zone.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the local river network, which flows into the Sile River and eventually reaches the Adriatic Sea. The Sile River is a significant watercourse in Veneto, supporting diverse aquatic life and providing water for irrigation. The downstream environment includes coastal lagoons and wetlands that are ecologically sensitive, requiring effective nutrient removal to prevent eutrophication.
