DEPURATORE DI RONCADE SAN CIPRIANO VIA MARCONI - Advanced Wastewater Treatment in San Cipriano, Veneto

DEPURATORE DI RONCADE SAN CIPRIANO VIA MARCONI is an advanced wastewater treatment facility located in Santa Fosca, San Cipriano, within the municipality of Roncade in the Veneto region of Italy. The plant serves a population equivalent of approximately 3,971 and has a designed capacity of 8,000 cubic meters per day, with a current discharge volume of 786.12 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 sensitive areas and agglomerations above 10,000 population equivalent. Although this plant serves a smaller population, its advanced treatment level indicates a commitment to high effluent quality. The treated wastewater is discharged into local water bodies that ultimately drain into the Adriatic Sea. The plant's proximity to the coast (within 10 km) means its discharge can affect coastal water quality and marine ecosystems. The Veneto region features a network of rivers and canals that flow into the northern Adriatic, supporting diverse aquatic life and important fisheries.

The plant discharges into the drainage network of the Veneto plain, which flows into the northern Adriatic Sea via rivers such as the Sile and Piave. This coastal area supports seagrass meadows, fish nurseries, and migratory bird habitats. Advanced treatment helps minimize nutrient loading, reducing the risk of eutrophication in the sensitive Adriatic ecosystem.
