GUANCE_ROSSE is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in Fiano Romano, a town in the Lazio region of Italy, near Rome. The plant serves a small population of 300 people, with a designed capacity of 350 m³/day and a current discharge volume of 59.39 m³/day. The plant employs advanced treatment processes, which go beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants. Under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), Italy requires appropriate treatment for discharges to sensitive areas, and advanced treatment is typical for plants protecting ecologically sensitive water bodies. The treated effluent likely discharges into a local watercourse that flows into the Tiber River, which ultimately reaches the Tyrrhenian Sea. The plant plays a key role in protecting local water quality and the downstream environment, including the Tiber basin and coastal waters.
Environmental context
The plant is located inland in the Tiber River basin, which drains into the Tyrrhenian Sea. The Tiber is Italy's second-longest river and supports diverse aquatic life, including fish species and migratory birds. The advanced treatment helps reduce nutrient loading, protecting the river and coastal ecosystem from eutrophication.
