Overview
DEP_COM_PERRAZETA is an advanced treatment plant in Roma, Lazio, Italy, serving 150 people. It discharges 29.70 m³/day of treated wastewater and operates under EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive standards.
DEP_COM_PERRAZETA is a wastewater treatment plant located in the Prima Porta district of Roma, in the Lazio region of Italy. It serves a small population of 150 people and is part of the municipal wastewater infrastructure for the Roma Capitale area. The plant is situated inland, more than 10 km from the coast, but within 50 km of the Tyrrhenian Sea. The plant provides advanced treatment, which goes beyond the secondary treatment required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. Advanced treatment typically includes nutrient removal (nitrogen and phosphorus) to protect sensitive water bodies. The plant has a designed capacity of 200 m³/day and currently discharges 29.70 m³/day of treated effluent. The treated wastewater is discharged into local watercourses that eventually drain into the Tiber River basin. The Tiber flows through Rome and into the Tyrrhenian Sea, supporting diverse aquatic life and providing water for agriculture and recreation. The advanced treatment helps minimize nutrient loading and protect downstream ecosystems.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Tiber River basin, which flows through Rome and into the Tyrrhenian Sea. The Tiber supports diverse aquatic life and is an important migratory corridor for fish species. The advanced treatment reduces nutrient pollution, helping to prevent eutrophication in the coastal waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea.
