Overview
CORNO_DI_ROSAZZO_VISINALE is a secondary wastewater treatment plant serving 1,188 people in Sant'Andràt del Judrio, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy. It discharges 235.18 m³/day of treated effluent into the local water system.
CORNO_DI_ROSAZZO_VISINALE is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Visinale del Judrio, near Corno di Rosazzo in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region of northeastern Italy. The plant serves a small population of 1,188 residents in the Sant'Andràt del Judrio area, operating as part of the region's decentralized wastewater infrastructure. As a secondary treatment facility, the plant provides biological treatment to reduce organic matter and suspended solids. With a designed capacity of 2,000 m³/day and an actual discharge volume of 235.18 m³/day, the plant operates well below its capacity, indicating room for future growth. Under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), agglomerations of this size (under 2,000 population equivalent) are typically required to provide appropriate treatment, and secondary treatment meets this standard. The treated effluent is discharged into the local water system, which ultimately drains into the Adriatic Sea via the Isonzo/Soča River basin. The plant's inland location (more than 10 km from the coast) reduces direct marine impact, but its proximity to the Judrio River, a tributary of the Isonzo, means the discharge contributes to the overall water quality of the Adriatic watershed.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Judrio River, a tributary of the Isonzo/Soča River, 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 species. The secondary treatment provided helps reduce nutrient loads, protecting downstream ecosystems from eutrophication.
Frequently asked questions
The plant is located at Via della Dogana 13, Visinale del Judrio, in the municipality of Corno di Rosazzo, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy.
The plant serves approximately 1,188 residents in the Sant'Andràt del Judrio area.
The plant discharges treated effluent into the Judrio River, a tributary of the Isonzo/Soča River, which flows into the Adriatic Sea.
The plant provides secondary treatment, which includes biological processes to reduce organic matter and suspended solids, meeting EU standards for small agglomerations.
Under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), agglomerations with a population equivalent under 2,000 are required to provide appropriate treatment. Secondary treatment, as implemented here, satisfies this requirement for inland areas.
