The facility serves a population of 915 and has a designed capacity of 1700 cubic meters per day, with an average discharge volume of 398.84 cubic meters per day. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants. As an Italian facility, it operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires advanced treatment for discharges into sensitive areas.

The plant plays a key role in protecting the local watershed and the coastal environment of the Adriatic, supporting water quality and aquatic life in the region.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into a tributary of the Cesano River, which flows into the Adriatic Sea near Senigallia. The Adriatic Sea is a semi-enclosed basin with sensitive ecosystems, including seagrass meadows and fish nursery areas. The advanced treatment helps reduce nutrient loading, preventing eutrophication and supporting biodiversity in the coastal zone.
