GRAZZANISE DEPURATORE COMUNALE - Secondary Wastewater Treatment Plant in Brezza, Grazzanise, Campania

GRAZZANISE_DEPURATORE_COMUNALE is a municipal wastewater treatment plant located in Brezza, a locality within the comune of Grazzanise, in the province of Caserta, Campania, Italy. The plant serves a population of approximately 3,000 residents and has a designed capacity of 3,000 m³/day, with a reported discharge volume of 593.89 m³/day. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the standard biological treatment required under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for agglomerations of this size. Secondary treatment typically involves biological oxidation and sedimentation to remove organic matter and suspended solids, ensuring compliance with EU effluent standards before discharge. The treated effluent is discharged into the local drainage network, which ultimately flows into the Volturno River, one of the major rivers in southern Italy. The Volturno River drains into the Tyrrhenian Sea, supporting diverse aquatic ecosystems and providing water for agriculture and industry in the region. The plant plays a key role in protecting the water quality of the Volturno basin and the downstream coastal environment.

The plant discharges into the Volturno River basin, which flows through Campania and empties into the Tyrrhenian Sea near Castel Volturno. The river supports a variety of aquatic life and is an important resource for irrigation and recreation. The downstream coastal area includes ecologically sensitive habitats such as dunes and wetlands that rely on good water quality from upstream sources.
