Overview
DP01816301_TRIVOLZIO_CAPOLUOGO_VIALE_DELL_INDUSTRIA is an advanced wastewater treatment plant in Trivolzio, Lombardy, Italy, serving about 2,079 people with a designed capacity of 1,350 m³/day.
DP01816301_TRIVOLZIO_CAPOLUOGO_VIALE_DELL_INDUSTRIA is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in the industrial zone of Trivolzio, a town in the province of Pavia, Lombardy, Italy. The plant serves a population of approximately 2,079 and has a designed capacity of 1,350 cubic meters per day, with a current discharge volume of 411.57 cubic meters per day. As an advanced treatment facility, it goes beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants, aligning with the requirements of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for sensitive areas. The advanced level indicates the plant likely employs tertiary filtration or nutrient removal technologies to meet stringent effluent standards. The plant discharges treated wastewater into local watercourses that eventually drain into the Po River basin, which flows into the Adriatic Sea. By providing advanced treatment, the plant helps protect the Po River ecosystem and downstream coastal waters from eutrophication and other pollution impacts, supporting aquatic life and water quality in the region.
Environmental context
The plant's treated effluent enters the local drainage network within the Po River basin, one of Italy's most important watersheds. The Po River flows eastward through the Po Valley and discharges into the Adriatic Sea near Venice. This region supports diverse aquatic habitats and is ecologically sensitive due to agricultural runoff and industrial pressures. Advanced treatment at this plant reduces nutrient loads, helping to mitigate eutrophication risks in the Po Delta and coastal Adriatic waters.
