Impianto di Depurazione Treviso Loc S Angelo is an advanced wastewater treatment facility located in Treviso, within the Veneto region of northern Italy. The plant serves a small population equivalent of 195, reflecting its role in treating wastewater from a localized area. Its advanced treatment level ensures high-quality effluent before discharge. As a plant operating under Italian and European Union regulations, it complies with the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive 91/271/EEC. This directive mandates secondary treatment as a minimum, with advanced (tertiary) treatment required for sensitive areas. The plant's advanced treatment status indicates it likely employs processes such as nutrient removal or disinfection to meet stringent standards. The treated effluent is discharged into local watercourses that flow into the Sile River basin, eventually reaching the Adriatic Sea. The Veneto region's water bodies support diverse aquatic ecosystems and are important for agriculture and tourism. The plant's advanced treatment helps protect downstream water quality and ecological health.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Sile River basin, which flows through the Veneto plain and into the Adriatic Sea near Jesolo. This coastal area supports diverse aquatic life, including fish and bird species, and is ecologically sensitive due to its proximity to the Lagoon of Venice. Advanced treatment reduces nutrient loads, helping to prevent eutrophication in downstream waters.
