CORMONS Wastewater Treatment Plant, Cormons, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy

The CORMONS wastewater treatment plant is located in Cormons, a town in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region of northeastern Italy. The plant serves a population of approximately 6,376 people, classifying it as a small to medium agglomeration under Italian and EU regulations. It is situated near the Isonzo River basin, which flows into the Adriatic Sea. As an Italian plant, CORMONS operates under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size. The plant's designed capacity is 1.00 (likely in thousands of cubic meters per day), indicating it is sized to handle the local wastewater load. The plant meets the regulatory standards for its population tier. The treated effluent from CORMONS is discharged into the local water environment, ultimately reaching the Adriatic Sea via the Isonzo River. This discharge supports the ecological health of the river and coastal zone, which are important for biodiversity and local communities. The plant plays a key role in protecting water quality in the region.

The CORMONS plant discharges into the Isonzo River basin, which flows into the Gulf of Trieste in the northern Adriatic Sea. This coastal area supports diverse marine life and is an important migratory corridor for fish and birds. The plant's treatment helps maintain water quality in the river and downstream marine environment, reducing nutrient loads that could cause eutrophication.
