Overview
Fitodepurazione di Trevignano Via Montebianco is a secondary treatment plant in Falzè, Veneto, Italy, serving 54 people with a designed capacity of 170 m³/day and a discharge volume of 10.69 m³/day.
Fitodepurazione di Trevignano Via Montebianco is a wastewater treatment plant located in Falzè, a frazione of Trevignano in the Veneto region of Italy. The plant serves a small population of 54 people, reflecting its role in a rural or peri-urban setting. It is situated inland, more than 10 km from the coast, and discharges treated effluent into local watercourses. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard level required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations with a population equivalent (PE) of less than 2,000. Secondary treatment typically involves biological processes to reduce organic matter and suspended solids. The designed capacity is 170 m³/day, and the actual discharge volume is 10.69 m³/day, indicating a low utilization rate consistent with the small population served. The treated effluent from the plant ultimately drains into the Piave River basin, which flows into the Adriatic Sea. The Piave River is an important watercourse in northeastern Italy, supporting diverse aquatic life and providing water for agriculture and recreation. The plant's secondary treatment helps protect the local watershed from nutrient pollution and organic loading, contributing to the ecological health of the downstream environment.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Piave River basin, which flows southeast into the Adriatic Sea near Jesolo. The Piave River supports a variety of fish species and is an important migratory corridor for birds. The surrounding area is characterized by agricultural land and small settlements, making the plant's nutrient removal role critical for preventing eutrophication in the coastal lagoon systems of the northern Adriatic.
