Overview
FRAZ_NESCE is an advanced wastewater treatment plant serving 200 people in Borgorose, Lazio, Italy. It discharges 39.59 m³/day and has a designed capacity of 400 m³/day.
FRAZ_NESCE is a small-scale wastewater treatment plant located in Borgorose, a municipality in the province of Rieti, Lazio, Italy. Serving a population of 200, the plant is designed to handle a capacity of 400 m³/day, with an average discharge volume of 39.59 m³/day. The facility provides advanced treatment, ensuring high-quality effluent before discharge. As an advanced treatment plant, FRAZ_NESCE goes beyond the secondary treatment requirements mandated by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. The directive requires secondary treatment for populations under 2,000, but the plant's advanced level indicates a commitment to higher environmental standards, likely due to the sensitivity of the receiving environment. The treated effluent is discharged into the local water system, which ultimately drains into the Tyrrhenian Sea via the Tiber River basin. The Lazio region is characterized by karstic aquifers and ecologically sensitive water bodies, making advanced treatment crucial for protecting downstream aquatic habitats and groundwater resources.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Tiber River basin, which flows through central Italy before reaching the Tyrrhenian Sea. The Tiber supports diverse aquatic life and is an important migratory corridor for fish species. The advanced treatment helps protect the river's ecological integrity and downstream coastal waters from nutrient pollution.
