Impianto di Depurazione Treviso Via Pennacchi - Advanced Wastewater Treatment in Treviso, Veneto

The Impianto di Depurazione Treviso Via Pennacchi is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in Treviso, in the Veneto region of Italy. The plant serves a small population of 717 people and has a designed capacity of 700 m³/day, with an actual discharge volume of 141.94 m³/day, indicating it operates well below capacity. As an advanced treatment facility, it goes beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants, meeting stringent standards under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC). For agglomerations of this size, the directive requires appropriate treatment, and the advanced level ensures high-quality effluent. The plant's treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies that eventually drain into the Adriatic Sea via the Sile River or other nearby waterways. The Veneto region is characterized by a dense network of rivers and canals, and the plant plays a key role in protecting these aquatic ecosystems from pollution.

The plant discharges into the local watershed of the Sile River, which flows through the Veneto plain and into the Adriatic Sea near Jesolo. The Sile River is an ecologically sensitive watercourse that supports diverse aquatic life and is part of a regional network of rivers and canals. The advanced treatment helps protect downstream habitats, including the Venice Lagoon, from nutrient pollution and other contaminants.
