LOC_SCAFA Wastewater Treatment Plant, San Giorgio a Liri, Lazio

LOC_SCAFA is an advanced wastewater treatment plant located in San Giorgio a Liri, a town in the province of Frosinone, Lazio, Italy. The plant serves a population of approximately 2,300 residents, reflecting its role as a small-scale municipal facility in the region. As an advanced treatment plant, LOC_SCAFA goes beyond secondary treatment to remove nutrients and other pollutants, ensuring high-quality effluent. The plant's designed capacity of 2,300 m³/day matches the population served, indicating adequate infrastructure for the community. Under the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), small agglomerations like this are required to provide appropriate treatment, and advanced treatment aligns with Italy's implementation for sensitive areas. The treated effluent is discharged into the local watershed, which ultimately drains into the Tyrrhenian Sea via the Garigliano River system. The plant's location within 50 km of the coast means its discharge contributes to the health of coastal waters, supporting marine ecosystems and recreational uses.

LOC_SCAFA discharges into the Liri-Garigliano river basin, which flows into the Tyrrhenian Sea. This coastal area supports diverse marine life and is important for tourism and fisheries. Advanced treatment helps reduce nutrient loading, protecting the sea from eutrophication and maintaining water quality for sensitive coastal habitats.
